The person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application on 6 May 2013. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on-farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a ground eligibility/cross compliance inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being finalised with the intention of issuing any payment due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will shortly be in contact with the person named.

The person named submitted an application under the 2013 Single Payment and Disadvantaged Area Schemes on 10^th May 2013.

Processing of the application of the person named under the 2013 Single Payment /Disadvantaged Areas Scheme revealed an over-claim in respect of two of the land parcels declared by the person named. The person named was recently notified of this error by letter. Maps of the relevant land parcel and information on how the person named could seek a review of this decision were included with the letter.

In the meantime, payments in respect of the Single Payment and Disadvantaged Areas schemes 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-claim and in the event that the appeal is successful, then supplementary payments will, of course, be made.
