Amharc ar fhreagraOfficials from my department notified the above named individual on 28th April 2023 that, as a result of an over-claim identified during the processing of their 2020 Basic Payment Scheme claim, it was required under EU regulation to carry out a review of land parcels claimed in the previous four years.
