An application under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 12 May 2011. During processing, an issue arose regarding the usage of one of the parcels declared. My Department has now received material establishing that the land parcel in question is eligible for payment under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme. The payment due will issue shortly to the nominated bank account.
