Payment of the 1999 cattle headage was made to the person named on 22 March 2000. Grants under the sheep headage scheme are based, inter alia, on the forage area and classification of grazings available in the disadvantaged area as indicated on an applicant's 1999 area aid form. In this case the person named applied on 25 mountain ewes and according to area aid records the forage area is classified as lowland grazings only. Therefore, the person named is not eligible for any payment under the scheme.
