Only valid applications under the Single Payment Scheme that fully comply with the requirements of the EU Legislation are paid. Consequently all applications under the Scheme are subject to administrative checks. Over 98% of applicants have passed these checks and have been paid under the Single Payment Scheme.
The remaining applications did not pass the validation process, went into error and cannot be paid pending a resolution of the error or the completion of the land eligibility inspection concerned. These errors include over-claims, dual claims and incomplete application forms. My Department is in correspondence with the farmers concerned in order to resolve these error cases.
The processing of the remaining unclear cases remains a priority with twice weekly payment runs being made to pay on applications as they are cleared for payment.

It is not possible to estimate the amount of money due to those awaiting payment. The average Disadvantaged Areas Scheme payment has been €2,100. Payment will not issue to all of the cases above, as certain holdings will not satisfy the retention rates for the scheme as set out in the terms and conditions that govern the scheme.
