An application under the 2013 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2013 and payments issued on 16 October 2013, 2 December 2013 and 30 September 2014 respectively under the Single Farm Payment Scheme and a payment issued on 27 September 2013 under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. A review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that several of the land parcels declared by the person named contained ineligible features and the person named was notified. In order to clarify the position regarding the area of any ineligible features my Department arranged for a ground verification check to be undertaken.
My Department is currently carrying out a full assessment of this case and will make direct contact with the person named when this assessment is completed.
