The person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme. Under EU Regulations governing the Basic Payment scheme, processing of applications involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted. The checks are now complete and the application has now been finalised. Department records show that the land declared by the person named under Scottish Derogation Scheme was also claimed by another farmer in the scheme year 2013 and therefore the application under Scottish Derogation is deemed to be ineligible.

A letter was issued to the person named on 13th May 2016 informing him of this decision and notifying him of his right to appeal this decision.
