The final AEOS payment has been made in this case.
The person named commenced their AEOS 2 contract on 1 September 2011. Payment issued in respect of the 2011-2015 Scheme years.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. 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 final payment can be processed. These checks are now completed and payment in respect of the 2016 Scheme year issued in two parts 85% on 7 April 2017 and the remaining 15% on 14 April 2017.
