I am doing my claim on paper, as always, and have just received the pre-populated form. If I add up the eligible areas in Column 8 the total for the farm does not match the figure shown on page 25 at H1, where it says "you do not need to update this information"! Apart from RPA incompetence and their disfunctional technology, anyone got any ideas why this should be?
I also have three fields omitted from the field data.
I believe we are all in possession of evidence that the RPA is in a complete mess and has merely sent out stuff - paper based or online in desperation - so that they - or they hope they can - sort out all the problems before the BPS window closes in June 2017.
Sadly farming has no organisation capable of robustly representing us farmers and we are going to have to muddle on through by ourselves. Even with Brexit we would still have the same people working in the succeeding organisation - The Rural Non Payment Agency.
Greetings to all who used to use FW! Nuf sed on that subject!
