The information regarding the status of payments under the Young Farmers Scheme for 2015 is being complied by my Department and will be made available to the Deputy at the earliest opportunity. Payment under the Young Farmers’ Scheme for 2016 is due to issue later in 2016 following the advance Basic Payment Scheme payment. The person named submitted applications under the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. These applications were not successful as the person named did not submit the required supporting documentation as requested on three occasions. He subsequently submitted the required documentation in May 2016 and successfully appealed the decision to reject his applications. These applications have now been processed and payment is due to issue shortly.
