The person named was added to a herd number in April 2023 and changes of this nature require that a transfer of entitlement application is submitted to move the payment entitlements to the new owner ID. The closing date for receipt of applications to transfer payment entitlements in 2023 was 14 June and the application was not submitted by the person named until October 2023. As transfer applications are processed in the order in which they are received, it was not processed immediately upon receipt and when it was reached there were land errors preventing the processing being completed. These have now been resolved and the processing is in progress. It is expected that this will be completed in the coming days.
The person named also submitted applications under the 2023 National Reserve and the Complementary Income Support for Young Farmers. When the transfer of entitlements application is finalised in the coming days, the applications under the National Reserve and the Complementary Income Support for Young Farmers can then be processed and the person named will be notified of the outcome of both applications.
