Final prepayment checks are currently being carried out for AEOS 1 and AEOS 2 participants who have received 75% of their 2013 payment. The balancing payments due will commence issuing this week. The checking process for the AEOS 3 Scheme is well underway and I expect payments to commence shortly, with a 75% payment issuing first and the balancing 25% payment following.
