The person named submitted a 2018 Basic Payment Scheme application on the 12th April 2018. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases land eligibility inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a Land Eligibility inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being processed to finalisation with the intention of issuing any payments due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
