The person named submitted four applications under the 2004 Special Beef Premium Scheme, in respect of a total of forty-two animals.
Following computer validation, it was found that eight of the animals on the second application and three on the fourth application, were non-CMMS compliant, in that they were not recorded as being in the herd of the person named on the date the applications were received by the Department.
The appropriate regulatory penalty was that no premium would be payable. The person named, having been advised accordingly, subsequently appealed this decision and, after due consideration, the appeal was allowed. Arrangements are now being made to process the applications further, with a view to payment issuing shortly.
