Anyone had any success with the Countryside Productivity Small Grant Scheme?

Had an email saying all my grant items will not be funded due to weigh scales not correct spec!

Surprise, surprise - scales are correct spec!

No reply as yet from email sent.

How do they know that they aren't the right spec? Which scales are they?

I guess the temp processing the claim kept brain firmly disingauged.

Te pari weigh scales supplied by the highly recommended Shearwell data.

Lack of telephone comms v disappointing, yet, sadly, not a surprise. Similar situation to an incorrect BPS reduction; again with no comms to an email appeal and no telephone update.

Doesn’t bode well for future schemes.

That's frustrating. You would think that ask for more information rather than just reject the claim.

Still waiting too. I heard that they are suppose to be releasing a second wave of the same grant soon but assume they need to clear outstanding payments before they can invite new applications.
