The person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment Scheme/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 14 May 2015. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Ground Eligibility 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 finalised and payments due will issue following the completion of this process.
The person named also submitted applications under the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. These applications are currently being processed with a view to issuing payment as soon as possible.
