The person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment /Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 25 May 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 processed with the intention of issuing any payments due under the Direct Payments Schemes as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.

According to records held in my Department the person named changed their herd number for the 2015 Scheme Year from single name to joint names. In order to facilitate payment under the amended herd number it is necessary for the above named to submit an application to transfer the allocation right for entitlements from the single name to the joint names. An official from my Department has been in contact with the person named and the required Transfer form has been issued to him. Once the completed form has been received and processed by my Department payment will issue shortly thereafter.
