An application under Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme was received from the person named on 5 April, 2015. Processing of the Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme application is complete and payment has issued to the nominated bank account of the person named. The person named also submitted a 2015 Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department seeking the transfer of allocation rights and values as transferee by gift of holding. My Department wrote to the person named on 13 January 2016 regarding issues in relation to land parcels that need to be resolved to further process this application. No reply has been received to date by my Department. Once a reply has been received the application can be further processed with a view to making payment under the Basic Payment Scheme as soon as possible thereafter.
The person named has also submitted an application under the Young Farmers Scheme. Once payment under the Basic Payment Scheme has been made the application under the Young Farmers Scheme will be finalised with a view to payment shortly thereafter.
