The person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/ Disadvantaged Area application form on 14 May 2013. Applications were also submitted to my Department on 14 May, 2013 requesting the transfer of 5.72 and 8.57 Single Payment entitlements to the person named. Following contact between officials in my Department and the relevant parties, issues arising from errors on the transfer application forms were resolved and these applications were subsequently processed.

Payment in respect of the Disadvantaged Area Scheme will issue shortly to the person named. A 50% advance payment under the Single Farm Payment Scheme will commence on 16 October and I expect that payment will issue to the person named on that date.
