Advance and balancing payments under the Single Payment Scheme issued on the 16^th October and 2^nd December respectively. However, a review of the land declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that ineligible features were included on some of the land parcels. Accordingly the amount of the balancing payment that issued on 2^nd December was reduced. A letter has issued to the person named advising him of the position.

Meanwhile an official from my Department will carry out a land verification check to determine the eligibility issues.
