The person named submitted an application under the 2020 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) on 11 April 2020. During the processing of the application, a commonage parcel was deemed to be over claimed and the relevant over claim deduction was applied to the BPS advance payment of the person named.

Following a review of the case, the overclaim has been removed and full payment was processed in the BPS balancing payment which issued to the person named in December 2020.

The person named has submitted applications under the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) in which he declared a specific parcel as Wild Bird Cover. However, when making his applications for scheme years 2016 to 2019 he did not submit a claimed area in respect of this parcel.

The inclusion of a claimed area for such parcels is required as the applicant's claim for payment on a parcel. This case is currently being reviewed by my Department and a decision will issue to the person named shortly.
