Processing of the application of the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme revealed over-claims in respect of three of the land parcels declared by the person named. The person named was notified of this error by letter dated 21 September 2013. The letter maps of the relevant land parcels and information on how the person named could seek a review of this decision. To date, no response has been received.

In the meantime, payments have recently issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on the revised eligible area. Should the person named appeal the decision regarding the over-claims and should that appeal be successful, then supplementary payments will, of course, be made.
