We have so far received the equivalent of £162 / ha. I hope that doesn't include the young farmer topup!
Can't get a statement from the RPA so no idea how that works out.

Are people re-applying for young farmer for this year's forms?
I applied last year. Heard nothing at all. Do I apply again or do they acknowledge I'm a young farmer already?

The online guidance about the scheme isn't clear at all - applied, and have just been paid, for 2015.
Am I now eligible to be paid going forwards? Do I need to go through the exact same form-filling process for 2016? Have you had all the extra money you're going to get if you're not under 40 in 2016?
Currently on the phone to the RPA - they don't appear to have a clue either. Actually, they've just cut me off after ten minutes of umming and ahing ...

Seems you can resend (in hard copy only - so much for online applications) 2015's original form, assuming it was in order and accepted.

Did you get any notice of your payment before it was made, or did it just appear in your bank?
I had to fill out the form again. Or at least that's what I did.

so can you just re send 2015 form or does it have to be a new one? with up to date signatures on?

I think we have finally received our young farmer top-up. The amount looks about right, but on the remittance it just says 'core-scheme'
Still not had ours through. Wonder if it will ever be seen!
After contacting @RPA our formal complaint has been chased up. So we are expecting a response three weeks after we made the complaint. Instead of the two weeks they initially stated. This is after we've been told "everything is on order, we can't understand why you haven't been paid" and "there is nothing to investigate" at different times. We live in hope.

good look with RPA we have had many complaints and basically they aren't arsed to do anything about my complaints.
they don't see a problem that 1 partner in a business wrote to them stating he took it all on etc and changed the name and who was allowed to act on the account so in the end we had to buy our entitlements off him which we already owned?
RPA don't see a problem with this, so anyone who's partnership goes pear shaped be the 1st to right to RPA and get the business in your sole name so you own the entitlements!

Admit haven't read all this I'm afraid but I thought I would badger a few of you in here. has anyone successfully applied for entitlements from the national reserve as a young farmer? Despite having 80 already? As an aside I got paid my young farmer top up in 2015 after having an inspection to see my documentation. However I got in trouble for allegedly over claiming by 1000 euros, fined the same amount and I haven't heard anything since despite not having overclaimed at all. Could have done with that 2000 euro months ago!
