As the person named holds no Single Payment entitlements, no payment is due under this Scheme.

As regards the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, the person named is one of a number of applicants whose cases were impacted by the requirement to have achieved a minimum stocking density on their holding in 2011 of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare and who applied for and were refused derogation in this regard. However, a subsequent appeal was received, which is currently under consideration; once this review is finalised, the person named will be notified in writing of the outcome.
