An application under the 2012 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Schemes was received from the person named on 10th May 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 of 10.62 % under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, which, under the terms and conditions of the Schemes, resulted in reduced payments under both.

The applicant was notified by letter dated 16th November of this outcome and the reasons for it.

A request for a review has not as yet been received. My Department will now further contact the person named to clarify the procedure.
