The person named commenced their AEOS contract on 1 September 2011. Payment has issued in respect of 2011 and 2012 Scheme years. Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. Issues arose in respect of the LPIS review which have now been resolved. The remaining cross checks are nearing completion and payment is expected to issue shortly.
