The person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application on 12 March 2013. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on-farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a ground eligibility inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being processed. In the event that any queries arise officials of my Department will shortly be in contact with the person named.
