View answerThe herdowner in question has made an application for compensation under the On Farm Market Valuation scheme as a result of a TB breakdown in his herd. This application has been received by my Department and is currently being reviewed as part of the routine pre-payment validation checks that all applications are subject to prior to payment.
The herd-owner in question met with officials from the Department last week and has been assured that payment will issue as quickly as possible. Once all pre-payment validations are complete and providing there are no issues with same, payment will issue directly to the nominated bank account of the herd-owner without delay.
