Written answers

Payment under the 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme has not yet issued to the person named as the holding has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements. As soon as the holding concerned is confirmed as having met these requirements, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter. Payment in respect of Single Payment Scheme issued on 16 October, directly to the nominated bank account of the person named.

The person named was approved to the 2012 Agri Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 May 2013. I anticipate that payments for the 2012 Agri Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) will commence in the first quarter of 2014. Applications must complete all necessary prepayment validations and checks before any payment can issue.
