An AEOS 3 contract relating to the herd number quoted commenced on 1 May 2013. Payment issued in respect of the 2013-2015 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. Issues arose relating to the transfer of this contract to the person named. These issues have now been resolved and all checks successfully completed.  Payment to the person named will issue within 10 working days.

Issues relating to the Basic Scheme Payment have also been resolved. That payment was processed on 3rd May 2017 and will issue to the applicant shortly.
