The person named held 4.21 entitlements with a total value of €558.67 under the Single Payment Scheme. All entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme expired on 31 December 2014.

In order to be eligible for an automatic allocation of entitlements under the Basic Payment Scheme a farmer must have been eligible to receive a direct payment under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme and the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme. The person named did not submit any applications under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme or 2014 Single Payment Scheme. In addition she did not submit an application under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme to my Department and therefore the person named was not eligible to receive an automatic allocation of entitlements under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme.
