View answerThe person named commenced her AEOS contract on 1 May 2015. 2015 payments issued on 15 December 2015 and 17 December 2015.
Under EU Regulations, 2016 scheme year payments cannot issue before 16 October at the earliest. Comprehensive administrative checks including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must also be completed. In a similar timeframe to last year, 2016 scheme year payments will be processed once these checks are finalised.
