The Deputy will be aware from my reply to his Parliamentary Question on 8 May that no payment had been made in this case because no application had been received.

In the intervening period and following contact by my Department with the person concerned, an application under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received with accompanying medical evidence relating to the late submission of the application. Having considered this evidence, it was decided to accept the late application on an exceptional basis. Payment under the Single Payment Scheme will issue shortly to the nominated bank account.

There is no record of an AEOS application from the person named.
