An application under the Single Payment Scheme/ Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 11 September 2013.
While the closing date for the 2013 Scheme was 15 May 2013, provision was made for applications to be accepted up to 25 calendar days after this date, subject to a cumulative 1% penalty per working day that the application is received late.
As the application of the person named was received outside this timeframe, no payment is due. The person named was advised accordingly, in writing, in response to which he submitted evidence to support his contention that he had submitted the application on time. However, on examination, this evidence proved to be unsatisfactory. The person named was advised accordingly. In the event that further evidence is provided officials in my Department will re-examine the case.
