Phase 2 of the National Reserve launched in early April and will have the same closing date as the Basic Payment Scheme. Applications under the National Reserve will be processed and assessed for eligibility by reference to the Scheme Terms and Conditions. Where minor errors or omissions are discovered on applications my Department will be in direct contact with the applicant with a view to resolving any outstanding issues.
