Anyone Received Environmental Payments for 2019

[Pie face]

Rang last week to chase and was told the majority of payments were made in December which came as a surprise to me because I understood the opposite was the case.

got paid out on 2019 ELS/HLS claim end of last week

was july last year (in fact last year I got the 2017 main payment in march then 2018 claim 'technically paid as a loan in july)

Nothing at all. They just tell you what they think keeps you happy.
They are very quick to take money back but very slow to pay out!!

 

[Hay Farmer]

Got paid today - mid tier scheme.

We have been in contact with FCN who are fighting hard for us. Yesterday they contacted us to say the RPA had emailed them to ask what is owed to us as they dont have a record of whats been or not been paid out. Sounds like they are in a right mess

Sounds about right, we were paid short last year and when I queried it they said wait until you receive the statement then contact us again - still waiting for the statement!

2019? still not had all of 2018! when I finally got through to someone in RPA yesterday he said we can see you have sent us lots of emails requesting the balance of 2018, but he dosen't know why they have all been ignored...Bloody amazing. I am now going to email them every day just to annoy them. Poor bloke did say that contacting your MP is the best way to get things done

That was 2018's payment and no not seen a penny of 2019.

Still waiting for balance of 2018 and 2019

 

[Hay Farmer]

Had to get my MP involved to get the balance of 2018, finally got it last November.

 

[yellow belly]

if every one of who is in stewardship got their mp involved payments would soon be at the top of the rural mps agenda
especially if we all put our argument on the basis that the lack of cash flow was starving rural investment

 

[Pie face]

I've got my MP on it but them I just remembered he's from the party who pay people to tell it we don't need a farming sector in this country!

Nothing here. Nervous to spend money again for this year if I'm not getting last years

Nothing here yet. Do I renew for another 5 years mmmmmm ?

 

[Pie face]

Cheeses me off that the government that can suddenly be rushing all this new money out to millions of folks still can't work out how to pay my claim that they have been sitting on for the thick end of 12 months!

is there anyone working at the RPA? anyone seen any money recently? seriously, how hard can it be? 15 yrs in HLS and CS and still a payments system cant be implemented. Amazon didn't exist 15yrs ago.

 

[Martyn]

Not a penny! Had FCN right two letter to RPA still nothing. When did they say by June at the latest.

Just paid another farm rent bill, still waiting for mid tier payment for last year, and will be soon half way through this year. When we signed up, half was payable in Autumn, half the following Spring. It really isn't good enough. Glad I haven't renewed our mid tier, only a few months to go to the end of the agreement.
