The above herd number was created and registered under the person named and another family member on 6 March, 2015. Under EU Regulation 1307/13 only persons who were eligible to receive a direct payment under the 2013 scheme year may receive an automatic right to be allocated entitlements under the Basic Payment Scheme in 2015. Consequently the person named does not qualify for an automatic right to participate in this Scheme. My Department received no applications under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme to transfer an allocation right and reference value from another farmer. An official from my Department will make direct cont act with the person named to discuss their case further.

An application under the 2015 Areas of Natural Constraints (ANC) Scheme was received from the person named on 29 May 2015. Payment under the ANC scheme issued directly to the nominated bank account of the person named in March 2016.
