The following table details the data requested by the Deputy:
Scheme Year | No. of Ground Eligibility Cases with area reductions over 20% under the Single Payment Scheme |
---|---|
2011 | 93 |
2012 | 64 |
2013 | 64 |

The data in respect of the 2014 Scheme Year is provisional as the outcomes of inspections continue to be finalised by my Department. Furthermore the number of cases subject to reductions can change as a result of the review and appeal processes available to applicants.
