The person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 28 April 2015. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection is currently being finalised with the intention of issuing any payment due under the Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.

My Department received a 2015 Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right form from the person named on 7thMay 2015. The details on the application form received indicated a discrepancy between the land area declared on the transfer application and the land area declared on the Basic Payment Scheme application submitted by the person named.
My Department wrote to the person named on 10thAugust 2015 to rectify the discrepancy. No reply has been received to date. When a reply has been received my Department will progress the processing of his application.
