Under 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, eligible applicants are required to have met a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units for a retention period of six consecutive months, in addition to maintaining an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the twelve months of the scheme year.
While the holding of the person named did not satisfy the stocking requirement, the case has been recently reviewed in light of the particular circumstances. Following this process, the application has been accepted for payment, which will issue shortly, directly to the nominated bank account.
