Applications in respect of the 2013 and 2014 Single Farm Payment Schemes were received on 13 November 2015 and 8 October 2014 respectively. An appeal against the late penalties applied, is currently under review and an official from my Department will be in direct contact with the person named once this review is complete.
All farmers who were entitled to receive a direct payment in 2013 (Single Payment, Grassland Sheep Scheme, Burren Life Scheme, Beef Data Scheme) have an automatic allocation right under the Basic Payment Scheme in 2015. When a decision has been made in relation to the appeal above, the eligibility status of the applicant in relation to her eligibility for an allocation right under the Basic Payment Scheme in 2015 will be determined.
