Payments under the 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme began issuing, on target, on 24 September. However, payment has not yet issued to the person named as, at this stage, the holding concerned has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements. An official from my department has been in direct contact with the person named, on foot of which further documentation is due to be submitted by the applicant. Immediately on receipt of this documentation, the application will be further processed and, should it be then confirmed that the holding of the person named has satisfied the minimum stocking density requirements, payment will issue as soon as possible thereafter.
