The person named subsequently formed a partnership with another herd owner in August 2016. As this Partnership was formed after the 16th May 2016 this is deemed to be a 2017 Partnership for payment purposes.
The person named and the other party to the Partnership have been advised to this effect.
Payment under the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme will be issued to the person named in the coming days.
