[QUOTE="Billhook, post: 1013790, member: 17502"] Nearly a year on from the original post and I have only just been made aware of this problem. I received a part payment out of the blue in January with no explanation or covering letter. Thinking it was just an adjustment and that the balance would be forthcoming in June. I thought that I had better just check and the local Natural England seemed to know nothing and put me through to Central Office where I was told that the payment is now being delayed............to June 2017! Neither the NFU or my agent who deals with dozens of other farmers SFP, HLS and ELS schemes know anything about this. The RPA man acknowledged that it was an unfair anomaly but I see that it affects over 1000 farmers. The NFU legal team have shown an interest but it would be a good idea to find out who the 1000 are and attack from a position of strength. This is from the gov webpage [url]https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/336676/qa-uniform-start-dates.pdf[/url] scroll down to. 12. How do the changes affect different categories of customers? (a) HLS agreements starting on 1 February, May, August and November in 2006, under the England Rural Development Programme (ERDP) This small group of less than a 1,000 HLS agreements will receive their last scheduled payment in 2014, and then receive a one off extra payment – the Alignment payment – by May 2015, to cover any outstanding months to 31 December 2014 not covered by the last payment in 2014. Subsequent payments will then relate to the calendar year from 1 January 2015. These agreements will then pass through the Single Annual Crosscheck (SAC) in July 2015. The next payment will be the partial payment by December 2015. The end of year payment for 2015 will be paid by June 2016. In 2016, the final year of these agreements, the payments will be proportional to the remaining number of months of the agreement. Final year payments for all agreements will still be split into a Partial and End of Year/ final payment to ensure that each part of the payment is covered by the appropriate SAC, which is run usually in July. (See section 13 and 14 below) These payments will follow the pattern of: • The Partial payment after the SAC by December 2016 • The End of Year payment by June in the next calendar year 2017 [/QUOTE]
