Following the death of a herd owner, payments due to the herd number for all scheme years are put on hold pending the receipt of specified testamentary documents. The required testamentary documents have all been received in respect of this case. An Indemnity on Payment of Monies application received by my Department in respect of this case has been approved and payments will be released to the Representatives of the Deceased via a solicitor's or executor's bank account in the coming days.
