An application under the 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 14 May 2013; this application was fully processed and cleared for payment. However, as the person named had outstanding debts under the Agri Environment Options Scheme, payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was offset against this debt. The person named had previously been notified directly of the amount due under AEOS.

My Department has written to the person named on 25 June 2013, requesting proof of rental of certain lands declared by him on his 2012 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Area applications. As no reply had been received, a reminder letter issued on 11 July 2013 to which no reply has yet been received by my Department. As soon as the information requested has been received the applications can be further processed.
