View answerThe person concerned is an applicant under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. The applicant is one of a number, whose cases are impacted by a requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare and who have applied for a derogation in this regard. The application had not been determined in sufficient time to enable payment with the first tranche on 26 September. Immediately a decision is reached, the person concerned will be notified in writing. Should the decision be negative, an independent appeals procedure is available.
