Holding a Basic Payment Entitlement 'entitles' you to claim the EU support payment as long as you obey the rules and are an active farmer and have eligible land to match the number (ha) of entitlements that you claim on. Can be bought or leased. No one knows what will happen post-Brexit though.This might be a stupid question but I have been reading a few threads in this section and I am wondering what are entitlements?
