The person named submitted a 2016 Transfer of Entitlements application to my Department seeking the transfer of entitlements by Change of Registration Details of Herd Number.
As the herd number shown had been changed to a farm partnership name after the submission of the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was necessary to have a Declaration of Undertaking form completed in order to allow the transfer application to be processed.
A letter issued with a Declaration of Undertaking form to the person named on the 11th November 2016. The completed Declaration of Undertaking form has since been returned to my Department. The application has now been finalised and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue in the coming days.
Question No. 1460 withdrawn.
