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 was the final scheme-year of payment for the person-named, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years had to be completed before the final payment could be processed. Payments in respect of the 2016 Scheme year issued in two parts: 85% on 19 June 2017; and the remaining 15% on 22 June 2017. There are no outstanding payments due.
