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.

An application under Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May, 2015. Processing of the application under both schemes is currently in progress and an official from my Department has been in direct contact with the person named in an effort to resolve outstanding matters. On completion of this process, the application will be further reviewed with a view to payment issuing directly to the nominated bank account of the person named at the earliest possible date.
