It's that time of the year again!

Just had a cheeky look and we're showing as Final Checking.

Keeping everything crossed for a 2nd December payment. Could really do with it this year and feel it must be our turn to be near the front of the payment queue after the last 3 years.

Ok word of warning to you.
Just had an email saying they’d carried out remote sensing on my claim and found discrepancies.

On looking closer they’ve altered the data on my application. Total eligible field sizes have altered leaving me over claiming.
Looked back at my saved copy of application and my figures were correct with the data they supplied from the then remapped fields(which caused enough hassle )
Rang helpline to ask what’s going on and for them to see last years form it needed to be regenerated. ..... Turns out that my form submitted in May now has data modified since I signed it off. It now shows new field sizes.
Is this even legal?
If I didn’t have a saved copy it would be very hard to prove anything.

They did that to us a couple of years ago, I wouldn’t expect a prompt payment but you might me lucky

They always mess with something.
Our maps ,plans, old icas and every year field data etc etc all show correct boundaries, road ,yards etc.
Anyhow ho and behold sent this year all incorrect and or missing?
Notified there errors and faults?
Ho and behold ,We had to "manage my land" compleat and enter correct data that THEY cocked up for sum UNKNOWN reason?
Do they love making work or trying to catch people out?????

we have moved on from final checking last weekend ,now showing the magic words preparing for payment. Which is as far as it goes so hopeful that means what ive taken it to mean i.e early dec not jan or later

fingers crossed. I thought they might have been doing something as we gained one of our neighbours fields a week or two ago for a day or two.

I had that, I didn't have maps etc to check the details against but most adjustments are very minor but I think I might have come out of it slightly better off. If they deduct from anyone who overclaimed is it possible that they will pay me extra if I have calculated properly?
