I submitted a simple application for FG2: Sheep netting today.
Who long should I expect to wait for the results of my application?
Who long should I expect to wait for the results of my application?
I called Rural Payments and the chap I spoke to said I should email [email protected] and explain what happened.
They might either add the extra capital items to my application or close that and start again. He said one application per year per SBI.
One application at a time yes, that’s caught us out as i wasnt aware of it either.I've only just found out you can only submit one application per parcel! I only included one item because I thought I'd see how the application process would be before I submitted for more. What do I do?
Once you have claimed all of your grant for that parcel then you can put in a new application with that parcel on it.I've only just found out you can only submit one application per parcel!

You couldn't make it up, I emailed them back yesterday with a polite but strongly worded reply and they've messaged today to say that with another look, they will accept my photos after all and will continue with processing my claim !!!Claimed 4 weeks ago, exactly the same as previous claims, which they paid within weeks, they emailed yesterday saying I hadn’t done the photos correctly, incredibly frustrated, I’m a farmer, not a bloody IT expert, they clearly show the completed work and all have field parcel numbers. I could have a proper rant but will save you all from that.
My claim went in on the 2nd of April for over 100k of fencing and coppicing works, got the agreement email for acceptance yesterday for start date of 1st of May.How long does it typically take for an application to be approved so that work can commence? I have a couple of clients who want to coppice, plant and fence old hedge lines this coming winter
Thanks for the replyMy claim went in on the 2nd of April for over 100k of fencing and coppicing works, got the agreement email for acceptance yesterday for start date of 1st of May.
A lot quicker than I thought it would be to be honest, can't complain at that !
Had him twice this morning. Then missed the callback. Demoralising. Hey ho. That standard message takes a good two minu to work through. Reducing its length should be a priority for RPA Defra. Ok I know that is pie in the sky.Am I the only one who gets well and truly p*ssed off listening to the chap give you the options on the helpline when he says;
"please bear with us during these exceptional times" !!!
What is exceptional about these times? apart from they are probably all now working from home and not enough of them to answer the calls.
