The person named commenced his AEOS contract on 1st September 2010. Payment issued in respect of the 2010-2014 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 take place. As all AEOS 1 participants will be receiving their final payments under the scheme, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payment is processed. In this case, these checks have been completed and payment in respect of the 2015 scheme year minus any over payments due to the Department issued in two parts: 85% on 29 April 2016 and the remaining 15% on 3 May 2016.
