The applicant in question applied for sheep fencing under the Animal Welfare, Safety and Nutrient Storage Scheme of TAMS II.

This application was the subject of an on-farm inspection. It is a requirement that the payments claimed be verified as part of such an inspection. In this case an issue arose in relation to the dates of the payments made. The over-claim calculated resulted in a nil payment.

The applicant was advised of the position in a letter from the Department dated 10 April 2018. A written request for a review of this decision was received from the applicant on 20 April 2018. The case will now be reviewed by the Department and the applicant will be advised in writing of the outcome.  Should the applicant remain dissatisfied with the outcome of this review it will remain open to them to submit an appeal to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
