While an application under the 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 22 April 2013, payment has not yet issued as the holding has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements.

Applicants are required to maintain 0.15 livestock units for a minimum retention period of seven consecutive months, in addition to maintaining an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the 12 months of the scheme year. Livestock must be owned, possessed, held and maintained by the person named in order to meet the minimum stocking level. While the person named had livestock on the holding for feeding purposes, as these animals were in the ownership of another farmer, they cannot be counted for stocking purpose on the application of the person named under the Terms and Conditions of the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme.
