My Department received a 2014 Transfer of Entitlements application on 7 May 2015 to transfer 4.70 entitlements by way of sale to the person named from another person. The closing date for receipt of Transfer of Entitlements applications for the 2014 Single Payment Scheme Year was 15 May 2014. As such, it was not possible for my Department to process this application. A letter was issued from my Department to both parties on 9 June 2015 advising them that their late application had been rejected due to the fact that it was received after the closing date of 15 May 2014.
Both parties have been advised that if they are dissatisfied with my Department's decision, they may submit an appeal providing details of any extenuating circumstances which led to the late application. To date no appeal has been received.
