Payments in respect of Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes has issued directly to the nominated bank account of the person named.

Records held by my Department indicate that the herd number held by the person named was changed to include other persons in May 2015. There were Basic Payment Scheme Entitlement Allocation Rights and Reference Values recorded in the single name on the herd number and to date my Department has not received a request to transfer these into the new names on the herd number. In order to facilitate payment under the Basic Payment Scheme my Department has written to the owners of the herd number requesting that they complete an application to have these Allocation Rights and Reference Values transferred. When the completed form has been returned to my Department it will be processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue shortly thereafter.
