An application under the 2014 Grassland Sheep Scheme was received from the person named on 22 May 2014. Payment has not issued to the person named as the holding concerned has not satisfied the Scheme minimum eligibility requirements namely, the submission of the annual sheep census form prior to the extended closing date of 14 February 2014. The person named applied unsuccessfully for the late acceptance of the form on the grounds of force majeure. The person named has been advised of the option to submit an appeal to the Agricultural Appeals Office should he so wish.
