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 form was subsequently returned to my Department and processed. However, as there were multiple transfers involved in this case it was necessary for my Department to revert to the person named again to clarify issues pertaining to the transfers. These issues have now been clarified and payment will issue shortly.
