My Department received a Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right and Reference Value application from the persons named to transfer allocations and values by change of registration of herd number from the second person named to both persons named. The Basic Payment Scheme application had been submitted in the name of the second person before the herd number was changed on 30th June 2015 into joint names held by both persons named. In the circumstances it was necessary for my Department to align both applications to reflect the change to the herd number so that processing could proceed. This work has now been completed, the application can be processed and payment will issue as soon as possible.
