So we arrive at the 31st of December where the RPA said 90% of claimants would be paid by.

Talking to local farming friends the last couple of days it would be more like 70% paid, granted a very small statictical sample.

We are still at claim validation, and not been touched since 14 December,

We suspect the RPA will have released a few thousand more at the end of the month which will be 'in flight' now so not landing until next week.

Have they released any upto date stats on payments or are you expecting any? How close are they to their target I wonder..

Have been informed we had a inspection on the 22 October which never happened so in the 10+% for the first time happy days

You will have had a Remote inspection I would guess..

Basically someone somewhere will have pulled up your maps and done an inspection on them compared to what they can view from a satellite.

I checked earlier, I've gone from Claim Validation to No Data Found :eek: :banghead: :nailbiting:
I've had something similiar, remote inspection !
On 5th dec my data was all ok and i have 3 times the area i need for greening/efa which is correct.
On12th dec i had gained a field from a neighbour and lost 20ha and i dont meet greening/efa
on 27th dec i had gained 2 more fields from 2 additonal neighbours and was 23ha up on my farmed area, but still don't meet greening/efa.
since 29th i am being prepared for payment.....phone call to them tells me i am being paid in "full" ......i very much doubt it though !!!!!!!!!!

The last RPA comms I'm aware of was on 20th Dec when they said they were up to 79%. We think there has been three releases since then which should get them to 90%. The last was probably at the end of last week so won't hit bank accounts until towards the end of next week - or is thus week if you think the first week of January has now started.

My guess is although 90% will be hit it will only be 75-80% of the fund. The other question is what % of the payments are full.

We intend to do some survey work next week ( w/c 9th) to see what the picture looks like with NFU members.
