The person named submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme.

This application was initially deemed unsuccessful as the applicant held entitlements under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme which was not permitted under the conditions of the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the Basic Payment Scheme. However following a recent clarification from the EU Commission, this applicant is now deemed successful and the person named will receive an allocation of entitlements under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme.

A letter will issue in the coming days to the person named informing them of this decision and payment will issue shortly thereafter.
