[3429/16]
View answerAn application under the 2015 Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes was received from the person named on 7 May 2015. Processing of this application is complete and payment has issued to the nominated bank account of the person named.
The person named joined AEOS 3 in May 2013 and has been paid for the 2013-2014 Scheme years. In relation to the payment in respect of 2015, under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. Once these checks have been successfully completed the payment can be processed.
