My Department received a 2015 Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right and Reference Value Application from the person named seeking the transfer of allocation rights and values by Change of Legal Entity as Transferee. As the name on the herd number shown changed after the Basic Payment Scheme application was submitted for this herd number, it was necessary for my Department to request a Declaration of Undertaking form be completed by the person named and the previous herd owner. To date this document has not been received by my Department. Until such time as it is received, it is not possible for this application to be further processed. An official from my Department will contact the person named to resolve the issue.

The person named also submitted applications under the ‘Young Farmer’ category of the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmer Scheme to my Department.  Once payment under the Basic Payment Scheme is made these applications can be finalised with a view to payment shortly thereafter.
