Under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, holdings of eligible applicants were 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.
The person named was unable to meet this requirement, but subsequently applied successfully to have unforeseen medical circumstances taken into account. Processing of the application has since been finalised, with payment issuing directly into the nominated bank account on 31 May 2013.
