The person named does not hold entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme. Another person previously registered under this herd number has entitlements but my Department has no record of receiving an application to transfer those entitlements to the person named. The extended closing date for receipt of applications to transfer entitlements was 8 June 2007. However, a Transfer of Entitlement application could be accepted at this stage provided a satisfactory explanation of the reason for the delayed submission is received. An official from my Department has made direct contact with the person named and outlined the position.
