The person named commenced their AEOS 1 contract on 1 November 2010, and have been paid in full for the 2010-2014 scheme years.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. As 2015 is the final year of payment, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before the last payment can be processed. It is expected that these checks will be completed shortly.
