An application under the 2015 Basic Payment/ANC Schemes was received from the person named on 9 June 2015.

The closing date for the receipt of applications was 29 May. However, applications received in the Department between 30 May and 23 June 2015 were also accepted but with a late penalty of 4% for each working day in that period that the application was late. Accordingly the late penalty to be applied in this case is 24%.

An appeal against the late penalty submitted by the person named was unsuccessful. An official from my Department has been in direct contact with the person named.
