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 be completed before any payment can issue.
Work on processing cases which did not pass the required pre-payment checks, is on-going with a view to effecting payment as quickly as possible.
