View answerThe person named is a participant in the Beef Data and Genomics Programme II (BDGP II) from 2017 - 2022. He received his 2021 payment on the 13th December 2021. He was deemed to be non-compliant with certain terms and conditions of the scheme so his payment was reduced. The areas where he was found to be in breach of the terms and conditions were the stock bull requirement, the survey completion requirement and the requirement to keep calves on the farm for a minimum of 5 months. He has the right to seek a review of this decision and if he is dissatisfied with the outcome of the review, he has the right of appeal to the Agriculture Appeals Office. A letter will issue to the person named shortly notifying him of his right to a review, and the penalties which have been applied to his payment.
