BPS 2017 help thread

[Badshot]

Thought it might be a help to some if there was somewhere to ask questions on BPS.

Me at the top of the list

Started the process today online. Got a load of boundary changes to do. Anyone got any clues as to where? I'm buggered if I can find it this year.

 

[Fergieman]

Can you do boundary changes online? I thought that was done by a RLE1 form in paper form.

 

[Badshot]

I thought it was meant to be possible. Maybe I'm mistaken.
Needs @RPA to get going.

Trying to make a start with 2017 bps. can anyone get beyond the "Start Now" page on Update your rural payment details. When trying to load all i get is the message "this site cant be reached" is the site perhaps not as ready as they claim?

Yes, same here- wet day, lots of work stacking up,thought I'd just see what I was up against this year and hey presto site not available! Had given up working my way through NEST site due to head ache!

I got on the site ok on friday, and everything looked ok. started inputting the crops for this year. Wanted to do a bit more today, but can't get on the site.
Was told by someone today, that there's lots of boundary cock ups.

Sorry people but, application done and dusted

I've just tried to do mine, though as I'd sorted the HLS this afternoon I'd carry on with the BPS. Managed to create an application, but all I can access is the last part of the application, there's no field data on mine, then thought I'd try and be clever and generate the paperwork and download it, but all that was is all the last years unpaid claim with all the corrupted data that @RPA has messed up with 2017 now replacing the 2016 in the year
So @RPA what am I supposed to do now ?

 

[Hesston4860s]

I'm just gonna have to leave mine till the last minute in the hope they've sorted out 2015/16, can't see what I else I can do as I just don't know what to code it as !.

You know where you can put that rod. Only joking, well done.

Boundary changes need an RLE1 form which you can download off gov.uk site. The online maps dont seem to be interactive but you can print them to send with new boundary pencilled in as part of RLE1 form.

Don't know what you've tried but ,sign in, click your business, click land, click land use and pre populated fields should appear

Looks as though something is to be added to allow alterations under "Land actions", but not there yet! Don't think will be able to change boundaries, only merge etc.

To get to "land actions" click land, click view land, click field number, "land actions" is on right of screen.

Thank you, I'll try that next time I do some.
I'm merging fields so would work for me.

+1

Would have liked to rename a field but couldn't do it online.

Also wish their View land and Edit Land Uses could be done on the same page

Other than that, the best system we've had for ever and ever imo.

 

[Adeptandy]

+2 now, after info not being there it suddenly appears the next day so cracked on and got it sorted with blind optimism, still not had this years a s yet

Also wanted to change a field name as they have amalgamated 2 together, but couldn't see how to

Ha nothing serious, but the first year I did it all really early as soon as the paper forms arrived to make sure it was in and then a few weeks later (I think before the date had even moved to the June one) I got someone round checking all our efa was as we said. Since then I was suspicious of doing it too early in case they are looking for work and people to visit

I was actually thinking of starting ours but just want to wait until I have confirmed I can get the crops in as I want with this blasted weather as they recommend the Belepi is drilled by the end of this month
