View answerA 2014 Single Payment Scheme and Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application was received in my Department from the person named on 9 April 2014. Payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme and the 50% advance of the Single Payment Scheme payment subsequently issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on 15 and 16 October respectively. However, due to an administrative error the payments issued on a reduced area. The area error has been corrected and a supplementary payment will issue to the person named as soon as possible. A letter explaining the situation will issue to the person named.
