The person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ category of the Basic Payment scheme and processing of this application is at an advanced stage. Processing of applications involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application. These checks are required under EU Regulation.
In the coming days when all checks have been completed and processing has been finalised, my Department will correspond directly with the person named and advise him of the outcome of his application.
