A 2019 BPS application was submitted by the named person on 19th April 2019. A field visit by a Department official to a commonage parcel included on this application resulted in a number of deductions being made to the eligible area of the commonage. The deductions resulted in an overclaim on the application and the person named received correspondence advising them of the overclaim.

The person named has appealed this overclaim to my Department. In order to complete the review of this case, further administrative checks and a further field visit are required. My Department will contact the named person on completion of these processes to advise him of the outcome.
