Countryside Stewardship claim

[Mishka]

I am making my first claim on our mixed farming agreement and have the following question.
We have some existing grass margins (SW1) and we will establish the rest in Aug / Sept 19. So on my claim form do I only claim for what is currently established or should I also claim for margins which will be established this harvest on this years form?

Thanks

Claim it all.

I’m using the paper claim form ( because NE can’t seem to make the online version work). On the paper form if says something about ticking a box for areas established after 15th May and that you will let them know in September where those parcels are and/or will confirm that they have been planted.

But you need to claim it all by 15/5/19 or you will lose it for the entire 5 years.

The point is that you have a whole year to establish your CS crops in the 1st year and need to claim all the payment for that year.

Take lots of photos to prove that the work was done.

I tried to get on line for mid tier claim all last week but failed and in the end applied for paper form on the RPA helpline by leaving my SBI number.
Had one last go today and got online. I rang the Worcester office and left a message on answer phone to say was unable to get online. Had a call later from someone who said although I was registered for BPS online I needed to register separately for stewardship and I needed to ring the dreaded helpline. Can’t remember which options I followed on the automatic line but got a chance to leave message for callback which I did. Got a call back and took minutes to be given access to stewardship online to make claim.
If you follow this root and get a callback don’t be deterred if you get boring music when you answer, somebody did speak to me after a short time.
