The 2017 application of the person named was selected for a Sheep Welfare Scheme inspection, the outcome of which resulted in a reduction in payment being applied.

The person named was notified of this outcome and has sought a review of the inspection findings. The matter is currently being examined by officials in my Department. The person named will be notified of the outcome on completion of this process shortly.

In the event that the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of this review, the decision can be appealed to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office.
