The person named is one of a number of applicants under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, whose cases are impacted by the requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare in 2011 and who applied for and were refused derogation in this regard. Additional information was subsequently supplied to my Department which showed that this requirement had been satisfied, thereby allowing processing to be finalised. Payment issued to the nominated bank account on 1 February 2013.
