Payment timings for Mid/Higher Tier

Been told today on phone that my application was successful and letter in post. Now I have until 15 June to plant my wild bird feed. Anyone else think it’s I tickle late to plant

Just to make sure I've got this right, you applied for CS mid-tier last year to start the 1st Jan this year? They have only just told you that you have been successful and you now have essentially 2 weeks to plant wild bird seed mixes?
The areas we have said we will put any mixes or margins etc on our application have all got crop on atm so we were told we don't have to establish anything till its been harvested if we are successful.

Thanks @Sid - I will try that. The person I have been speaking to there said something about an IT error being the problem, but that the person who could fix it was off on long term sick leave. I just seem to go round in circles with them.

The RLR fix was completed last week.
Office move was another excuse.

I had a meeting with my MP last week and the CSS fiasco was highlighted to him to take forward.

Our agreement is organic maintenance and conversion only.
 
Offer arrived, don’t think I’ll except, just too much to do with only 2 weeks before deadline, didn’t help that the new mapping changed 6 of the parcels I had options in. will see Monday if they will let me apply for a 2018 pack. So disappointing because put lot of time and effort into the application

Offer came in the post yesterday as well, nice 5 months late. Reading through it, came to the late penalty section 1% per day of your came, so by that calculation I wonder if I can claim 150% extra being 150days late on the start.

Despite turning my offer down, and having a letter saying so, I’ve received another letter today, asking for my claim form .

Natural England will be no more shortly, they have no will or interest in customer service, the staff morale is rock bottom.

Strangely enough, ajcc, my recent dealings with NE have been far more cordial and productive than any of my recent dealings with HMRC, DVLA, Ofcom or the RPA.

Does anybody here know who's actually to be taking over from NE?
