It’s all linked to 2017, ‘18 and ‘19 is it not - the 10% per year inflation figure won’t come into the future reduced payments.
If you can make the exit scheme work for you and yours it’s probably gunna be best to grab the last of the EU linked cash whilst you can.
Such a true statement.. thank you!!!
 
There was a meeting at the mart a while ago and the fella said that the current pot of money will stay the same just allocated differently
Not sure I can fathom that out to be right but that’s what he said

Sounds about right - more for the big estates, RSPB etc enviro schemes and less for food production is how it appears to be going although maybe the cost of living squeeze may have come just in time for a re-appraisal and even add something in for inflation .

Yes that’s what I’m hoping too

Once UK left EU. Sovereign country. Own currency. Why would any payment be linked to the Euro?

I was interested to know how and when 'the current pot' was decided.
It could be calculated in many different ways.
As the values were set in Euros, it used to be dependent on the exchange rate on a particular day, so if they were keeping 'the same pot', it could still be done the same way, paying the same as the EU.
They could just keep the budget the same as when introduced in 2004 or whenever it was.
There are also a thousand other permutations they could use and call it 'the same pot of money'.

It would be rather good to have it confirmed although I doubt they will, as it would be blatantly obvious that in real terms, the pot would be considerably smaller.

Well that’s right all of it
I did remember hearing them saying that the sub ‘would be at least the same if not more’ pre Brexit and look what happened
You can’t believe a word they say

Which is why I am going to make the exit scheme work for our situation (I’m 72 and thoroughly diversified by the way) whilst the money seems to be actually available.

PS. May as well be in one of our bank accounts as the treasury’s .

What do they need the money for anyway?
