The person named submitted three 2016 Transfer of Entitlements applications to my Department seeking the transfer of entitlements by lease. As the herd number shown had been changed from an individual to a Company name after the submission of the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was necessary to have a Declaration of Undertaking form completed in order to allow the transfer applications to be processed.

A letter issued with a Declaration of Undertaking form to the person named on 12 November 2016. The completed Declaration of Undertaking from has since been returned to my Department. The applications have now been finalised and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue shortly.
