I know payments were delayed last year, but I was hoping they'd be on time this year. I sincerely hope we don't have to wait until 2106 @llamedos :whistle:

Payment statement online today, so looking good for an early Xmas.:)

My statement is ready and due for payment, however, I rented some land out for the first time with entitlements last year and last year only, but they have now reduced my 2016 entitlements and going forward to 2019 by the amount of the rented land from last year, anything I can do about that or are they lost forever because I rented them in 2015?

I think they will have been allocated to the guy that rented that land from you, and presumably claimed SFP on it in 2015. You are left with naked acres, for which you could purchase some entitlements.

It might be worth talking to RPW to see if there is any way of claiming fresh entitlements though. Rent to a family member as a 'new entrant' maybe?:scratchhead:

I had a feeling that would be the case, only ever done it once and that just happened to be a reference year...:banghead:
I'll look into the options, thanks Neil.
