A 2017 Basic Payment Application in respect of the person named was received on 05 May 2017 and the relevant payments issued in October and December to the nominated bank account.

An issue arose post payment where a number of land parcels declared by the person named were also declared by another applicant. In order to resolve this issue the Department issued a dual claim letter on 23 February 2018 and a reminder on 09 May 2018. These letters outlined the issue and invited the applicant to substantiate their claim.

As you have indicated that the person named did not receive the correspondence issued by my Department I have arranged for these letters to be reissued.
