An application under the 2015 Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes was received from the person named on 7 May 2015. Processing of this application is complete and payment has issued to the nominated bank account of the person named.

The person named joined AEOS 3 in May 2013 and has been paid for the 2013-2014 Scheme years.
