The person named submitted a 2015 Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department. An official from my Department has been in direct contact with the person named regarding land parcels omitted from the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application form submitted on behalf of the person named. Once the issues regarding the land parcels have been resolved the application can be further processed with a view to making payment as soon as possible.

The person named also submitted applications under the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department.  Once payment under the Basic Payment Scheme has been made, the applications to the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme will be finalised with a view to payment issuing as soon as possible thereafter.
