The person named submitted a 2016 Basic Payment Scheme / Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 5 May 2016. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases remote sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a remote sensing eligibility inspection and this inspection has been completed and the results finalised. The full advance payment due under the Basic Payment Scheme has now issued to the nominated bank account of the person named. Payment due under the Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme is currently being finalised and will issue shortly.

The persons named submitted a 2016 Transfer of Entitlements application to my Department seeking the transfer of entitlements by Change of Registration Details of Herd Number. As the herd number shown had changed after the submission of the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was necessary for the persons named to submit a Basic Payment Scheme Declaration of Undertaking form to my Department in order to allow the transfer application to be processed. This form was submitted and the application has been fully processed. Payment under the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme will be issued to the persons named in the coming days.
