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 payments can be processed. This process is on-going and payments are issuing on a weekly basis in cases where the final checks has been successfully completed.
