The person named submitted a 2018 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes application on the 30th April 2018. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a Ground Eligibility inspection. This inspection has been processed and the person named was notified of the findings on 27th November 2018. The notification issued outlines the options available at this stage, namely to accept the findings or to submit comments to my Department for consideration. On completion of this process, the inspection outcome will be finalised and any payments due will issue to the nominated bank account of the person named as soon as possible.
