In the case of the first person named, an application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received on 19 April 2012. However, payment has not yet issued, as, at this stage, the holding concerned has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements. Immediately this can be confirmed, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter.

In the case of the second person named, an application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received on 19 April 2012. Processing of the application has recently been finalised, thereby allowing payment to shortly issue, directly to the nominated bank account.
