Under the Single Payment Scheme the person named made an application to the National Reserve and was successfully allocated €5,275.87. As the person named did not hold entitlements in his own right this monetary amount was topped up onto entitlements he had leased in from another farmer. When the lease expired on 31st December 2012, the original value of the entitlements reverted to the other farmer, and the National Reserve allocation remained in the account of the person named as a reference amount under the 2013 scheme year.

In 2013 the person named submitted an application to lease in 30.09 entitlements. This application was successful and 50% advance payment issued on these entitlements on 16th October 2013. The National Reserve reference amount has now been re-applied as a top up to the leased in entitlements and payment on this allocation will issue along with the remaining 50% of the leased in entitlements in December 2013.
