View answerThe person named submitted an application for the 2020 Basic Payment Scheme on 5th May 2020. As a result of the standard verification checks carried out by my Department, a parcel claimed on this application was identified as having being burned in the closed period of 1st March to 31st August, which resulted in an overclaim.
The person named was written to by my Department on 19th November 2020 outlining the current position with regard to his 2020 BPS application and the options available to him in relation to this over claim, including the right to seek a review. The person named sought a review of this overclaim on 30th November 2020, and further information was submitted in relation to this review on 25th January 2021. My Department is currently reviewing this information and will be in direct contact with the person named shortly in this regard.
