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

Subsequently, a review was carried out and the overclaim was removed. The BPS application was updated and the person named was paid in full in the BPS balancing payment in December 2020.

Based on the 6.83 entitlements held by him, the total BPS and Greening payment due was €1,499.08. In October 2020, a total of €974.07 was paid in the advance payment. This included the deduction in respect of the overclaim. In December 2020, a further €525.01 issued in the balancing payment. This included the reversal of the previous reduction in October. Therefore, the full payment for the 2020 BPS has issued in this case.

Similarly, the ANC payment has been made in full in this case. The initial penalty applied at advance payment stage was reversed at balancing payment stage.

A full breakdown of this detail will issue to the person named.
