Written answers

Processing of the application of the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Area Scheme revealed over-claims in respect of two of the land parcels declared by the person named. The person named was recently notified of this error by letter. Maps of the relevant land parcels and information on how the person named could seek a review of this decision were included with the letter. To date, no response has been received. In the meantime, payments have recently issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on the revised eligible area. Should the person named appeal the decision regarding the over-claims and should that appeal prove successful, then supplementary payments will, of course, be made.
