Applications in respect of the 2015 and 2016 Basic Payment Scheme were submitted by the person named on 7 April 2017 and, while they were received outside the time frame allowed, the late penalty has been waived. The person named does not have any entitlements under the Basic Payment Scheme.  However, the applications are currently being reviewed with regard to the Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme. An official from my Department will be in direct contact with the person named to clarify the position.
