The person named submitted an application on 7 December 2018 under the TAMS II Young Farmer Capital Investment Scheme. The application was approved and a payment claim was subsequently submitted on 19 March 2020. In this case, the applicant delivered a different investment than the one applied for and, in line with the Terms and Conditions of the scheme, a penalty was applied.

A review of the penalty/reduction applied in this case has been requested and is currently being carried out. The outcome of this review will be notified, in writing, directly to the person when it is completed.
