Our first year in a mid tier CS revenue scheme, start date 1/1/24. We have just received an email saying claims must be submitted by 15 May.

Which is a pleasant surprise, if it means payment will be made some point in 2024 ? Reading a few posts on here it sounds like folks have been waiting till now for their 2023 payment ? Have they changed the payment schedule ? Or have I read the email , or posts on here, wrong ?

I’m still waiting for my final payment due from Dec23. I think I have only received payment once in December.

Not as far as I know. Claim window from now until May 15th. Single payment from December 1st but with the payment window extending until June 2025. My experience is most claims settled first week December. But any that do not can be months before settled with not necessarily no rhyme nor reason. We wait with interest how RPA fare with SFI.

You should have got the full payment in one hit regardless of amount.

I would call them asap.
We have, waiting to hear back, we have received the amount we would have roughly got before the payment rates increased in January, we are wondering if they can only pay so much at a time due to the amount that is paid, it's a quite substantial amount !

I think you will find that those increased rates that were announced Jan 24 will be for your next revenue claim due Dec 1st 2024 - June 30th 2025 payment window.

We were under the impression that you got the new rates from Jan for this payment window ?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but fairly sure that’s not the case.
At least you have something, I’m still waiting although today I was told that the satellites took photos of the wrong field and this is what has caused the delay .
You can’t make this stuff up.

If they paid the increased rates announced in Jan that would mean they would have to re visit every claim paid in December/ Mid Jan and pay them more!

I’m glad it’s not just us! We are still waiting on a cs payment, whilst keeping cattle in to stay in line with the scheme. I need to buy some hay, - imagine if I say to the supplier “I l pay your bill sometime between December and June”

We put a capital claim in for some fencing last Friday, preparing for payment today ! Is that some sort of record ?
I put a claim in Tuesday last week for a AQ2 air quality capital grant and got the money showing in the bank Saturday morning . I did have to represent my bank statements and invoices twice before this as you can’t send anything with account details on them now because they will delete them immediately for security reasons.

Finally after 18 and a bit weeks , got paid last Friday for my capital claim from mid November 23 !!!!
Still waiting for 2023 Revenue however on Monday got asked to reconfirm land use codes and areas following THEIR remapping exercise [no idea when] which I have just filled in and sent back again . Probably means that it will now be a few more weeks rather than days ??!!
Need to send in another Capital works claim now , and so it continues !
Hope some of the others on here have got paid now ?
