View answerOn 16th September 2020, my Department notified the person named of the loss of 5.66 entitlements to the National Reserve in 2020 as these entitlements had not been used over the two year usage period (2019 and 2020). On 20th October 2020, my Department received a late 2019 Transfer of Entitlements application to transfer these 5.66 entitlements, by way of gift, from the person named to the new owner of this Herdnumber. On 22th October 2020, my Department issued a letter to both parties to the Transfer to state that the signature of the person named had not been witnessed by the appropriate witness and provided them with the opportunity to rectify this position. On 12th November 2020, the Transfer Signature Confirmation was received witnessed correctly.
The 2019 Transfer of Entitlements application form has now been processed. As a result, the 5.66 entitlements have been transferred from the person named and are no longer deemed to be unused .
