An application under the 2018 Basic Payments Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2018. Application for the Areas of Natural Constraints (ANC) scheme is integrated into the Basic Payments Scheme application form and in order to apply for the ANC scheme applicants must tick the appropriate box on the online application form. My Department's records show that in the case of the person named no such tick or indication of application for the ANC scheme was made.

Following a review of the case, an application for the ANC scheme will now be accepted in this case.
