The person named commenced their AEOS 2 contract on 1 September 2011. Payment has issued in respect of the 2011-2015 Scheme years.

Under The EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place before payments can issue. As 2016 is the final scheme year of payment for the person named, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before the final payment can be processed. It is expected that these checks will be finalised shortly and payment will issue when these checks are completed.
