View answerThe 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas’ scheme application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing inspection. A follow-up field inspection to determine the eligibility of commonage land s declared identified ineligible lands/features resulting in discrepancies between the area declared and the area determined. As the over-declaration in area was greater than 50%, under the terms and conditions of these schemes this resulted is no payment being due under the 2014 schemes. The person named appealed this decision and the outcome of this review is nearing finalisation. A letter detailing the outcome will issue to the person named shortly.
In the event that the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of this review, the decision can be appealed to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office, within three months.
