An application under the 2018 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) was lodged on behalf of the person named on 14 February 2018. Following the standard validation process, overclaims were identified on two land parcels.
Query letters and maps were issued by my Department outlining the position. The authorised agent of the person named replied, appealing the Departments initial findings. That appeal was successful leading to a reduction in the original overclaim to 0.13 hectares.
Payment under the 2018 Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme has now issued on this basis.
A further letter has issued to the person named detailing the overclaim of 0.13 hectares. It remains open to the person named to appeal this revised finding should he wish to do so.
