An application under the 2012 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 19th March 2012. In order to comply with EU requirements, the applicant was one of a number selected for inspection. This inspection resulted in findings of an over-declaration in area of between 3% and 20% under the Single Payment Scheme and an over-declaration in Mountain Forage area of over 20% under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, which, under the terms and conditions of the Schemes, resulted in reduced payments under both. The applicant has been notified of this outcome and the reasons for it. The applicant has also been advised of the right to seek a review and also of the right to appeal the outcome of any such review, in due course, to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office.
