Payment has not yet issued to the person named under the 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme as the holding has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements. As soon as the holding concerned is confirmed as having met these requirements, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter.

Payment has not yet issued to the person named under the 2012 or 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme as the holding has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements. Applicants must own, possess, hold and maintain livestock in order for them to be considered eligible for stocking purpose. While medical evidence has been received and considered, further processing revealed that a large number of animals were moved on to the holding of the person named through feedlot movement, as these animals were maintained on the holding but not in the ownership of the person named, they cannot be considered for stocking purposes.
