The person named submitted an application for the 2014 Single Payment and Disadvantaged Areas Schemes on 14 May 2014.

My Department informed the person named on 21 July 2014 that unused Standard Single Payment Entitlements at a value of €207.98 each were reverting to the National Reserve as per the Terms and Conditions of the scheme. The remaining Single Payment Entitlements held were paid on 23 October 2014 and 1 December 2014.

No payment is due under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme as the person named had insufficient stocking density on his land per the Regulations governing the scheme.
