Can you confirm that you were paid 40% of their standard cost and not 40% of your invoice?
Bought a trailing shoe and the difference between their standard cost and the actual price is many thousand.
Just wanted to be sure before i submit the claim, as we have ordered a new tanker with the trailing shoe, but not likely to see that until the new year,
whereas the trailing shoe was in stock. Don't really want to pay the full standard cost if i can help it, but we can make the invoice suit if we need to.
Would like to hear from someone that had been approved/paid.
typical, getting free money, but still want to fiddle the invoice.
 
Has anyone had any response after sending in their claim?

I sent mine in last week but I've heard nothing to say they have it and I keep getting reminders that the deadline is approaching fast.
I received an email confirming that my application had been received just minutes after I sent it (y) - then 30 minutes later received a reminder to send it in :ROFLMAO:

Had an automated acknowledgement email same day, 4th Sept , and had an email on the 16th to say payment had been approved and would take around 2 weeks.
 
Had a email straight back when I submitted mine last week

Thanks. Looks like I need to send it again.

Is anyone still waiting for payment or is it just me?

I sent my claim in a few weeks before the deadline and had the acknowledgement email but not heard anything since.

Mine only went in day before deadline (delay with delivery of some stuff) got acknowledgement email and nothing since

I am also waiting payment for two grants, I hope this is not going to be like the CS, where we don't get paid for ages. We jump through the hoops and pay for the items and submit the forms on time but they seem unaccountable. Anyone chased theirs up?

how much notice do they give?

Phoned yesterday evening to come today at 11 am so very little notice.

To be honest I've been naughty. I ordered and paid for a headscoop from Batemans in May and its not been delivered yet. I've emailed and called on a weekly basis and have a paper trail to prove but its not here on farm yet. Every time I called I was promised it would arrive before the scheme end date so I just cracked on and put the claim in. Will be interesting to see the outcome!
