Had a claim statement today so assume we have been paid. About spot on the numbers.

Fingers crossed after 3 inspections in 3 years they can inspect some others for next year

We got ours today.

It's significantly less than last year, despite nothing changing at our end. Land agent who does all our paperwork isn't in until next Tuesday.

That's going to be an interesting phone call.

Finally paid today absolutely no idea how they have calculated it out of 71 field parcels they have changed over 50 of them and I,ve apparently not been remapped
Any increase in the value is probably going straight back to the land agents in fees to sort the mess out

I feel it's the land agents problem that it's not right, not ours. We are nearly £10k down on last year despite nothing actually changing at our end. Clearly someone has messed up somewhere.

Im sure we could have managed to lose £10k+ all by ourselves rather than paying someone to do it on our behalf!

nope, nothing.... logged on and found they think I should have some EFA area (heartattack time!).
So I double checked, less than 30 ha arable and more than 75% of all land is either pg1 or tg1! Still worried tho!

Had a claim statement on Tuesday with a amount on it not sure if it is right have passed it on to my agent to check ,bank phoned today to say it had been paid in . Now going to change my vote
 
We have 2017 payment - statement came today. Looks fine. 2016 payment however is still part outstanding even though they have paid fully on the same claim area this year which makes no sense whatsoever to me.

Still nothing at all and by the look of the poll numbers they failed miserably to get to 90% by the end of December.
Anyone had any money from Natural England? That is now seriously overdue as it should have been paid in the Autumn!!!

Not been paid yet. We have had the pleasure of a cross compliance HLS and BPS inspection all this summer gone. Our payment is at the second stage of verification and all the RPA tell us is they have got until June to pay it.... helpful!
