An application under the Single Payment / Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 5 March 2013. This application was processed and payment generated on 17 October 2013. The payment is currently held by my Department awaiting updated bank details to be submitted by the applicant.
Also a Transfer of Entitlements application was received on 31 July 2013, from the person named requesting the transfer of 37.89 Single Farm Payment entitlements from the joint herd number held with his late mother into his sole name.
As this transfer was by way of inheritance, it was necessary to request testamentary documentation in support of this transfer. Under the Will of the deceased, other persons are the rightful beneficiaries of the Single Payment entitlements. Therefore, before the requested transfer can be completed, these persons must indicate their intention, if they so wish, to waive their rights in favour of the person named.
My Department has requested the necessary waivers on three separate occasions. Upon receipt of the outstanding documentation the application will be processed.
