Processing of the 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application of the person named has recently been finalised, with payment due to issue shortly, directly to the nominated bank account of the person named. I can confirm that 50% advance payments under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme will commence on 16 October 2014 as is provided for in the relevant EU Regulations. The application of the person named has been finalised and I expect that payment will issue shortly to the nominated bank account of the person named.

There are no other outstanding grants due to the person named.

This concerns an application under AEOS III. There is no record of any payment due to the person named under the Rural Environment Protection Scheme. The person named commenced in AEOS III on 1 May 2013. However, on 26 July 2013 a request was received by my Department to amend his 2013 Single Payment Scheme application, which in turn underpins the AEOS payment. Unfortunately, no accompanying maps indicating the new parcel divisions were ever submitted, and to date nothing further has been received. Officials from my Department will contact the person named to obtain the necessary maps to allow digitisation of parcels to proceed. Once this is done, the relevant AEOS payment can be processed.
