Following processing of the application of the person named under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, issues were identified in relation to equine documentation. Following protracted contact with the person named, these issues were successfully resolved. In the meantime, however, the application is now subject of the current LPIS Review, whereby land parcels declared under Area-based Direct Aid Schemes are being reviewed as to their eligibility. Immediately the review is complete, any payments due under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme will issue directly to the nominated bank account of the person named.
