The person named made incorrect declarations in regard to his wife's off-farm income and as a result was overpaid £2,838.05 under the cattle headage scheme in more severely handicapped areas for the years 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986. Grants due to him under the 1987 special beef premium and calf premium schemes, the 1989 calf premium scheme, the 1990 and 1991 special beef premium and the cattle headage schemes have been offset against the overpayment, leaving a balance due to my Department of £396.57.
His applications under the 1992 special beef premium and cattle headage schemes are being processed at present. It is proposed to deduct the balance of £396.57 from any grants due to him and to pay anything left over to him when payments under these schemes commence later this year.
