An application under the Basic Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 18 May, 2015. On examination of the application, my Department became aware of a dual claim on a land parcel between the person named and another herd owner. Both herd owners were written to in order to establish which party had an entitlement to claim the particular land parcel. On receipt of the replies from both parties, the land parcel was awarded to the person named. Following this process, payment has now issued to the nominated bank account of the person named.

The person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 29 April 2015. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue. The application of the person named was selected for a ground 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.
