An appeal letter was recently submitted on behalf of the person named. The appeal relates to the person named not having submitted Single Payment Scheme (SPS) applications for scheme years 2013 & 2014 and a Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) application in 2015.
As the Deputy is aware, the establishment of the right to a payment under BPS is dependent on the reference years 2013, 2014 and 2015. Any decision to accept applications for those years has to be carefully considered given the considerable time that has elapsed. The documentation is currently being examined and with a view to completing this review at the earliest possible opportunity.
As soon as the full review of the case has been completed an official from my Department will contact the person named directly.
