Amharc ar fhreagraProcessing of the application of the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed over-claims in respect of two of the land parcels. The eligible areas for these parcels were determined by following a ground inspection in the 2011 Single Payment Scheme Year. The person named was penalised accordingly in 2011, while in 2012 the person named claimed the area determined by the Inspector. The person named subsequently claimed increased areas on the 2013 application. Following administrative checks, over-claims were identified and the person named was notified of these errors by letter. Maps of the relevant land parcels and information on how the person named could seek a review of this decision were included with the letter. The person named has recently sought a review of the over claimed parcels; arrangements are being made for an official of my Department to carry out an inspection on the land in question.
