Under 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, eligible applicants’ holdings are required to satisfy a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units for a retention period of seven consecutive months, in addition to maintaining an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the twelve months of the scheme year. As the holding of the person named has not yet satisfied the annual average minimum requirements, payment has not issued. Immediately the holding of the person named is confirmed as having satisfied the minimum stocking requirements, the file of the person named will be further processed with a view to payment issuing as soon as possible thereafter, provided all other Scheme requirements have been satisfied.
