Any one worse than me?
Just submitted my claim at 23.52.
And I'm still not happy with some of it.
In all the years of IACS, SFP etc I've managed to get to grips with the form and sent it in confidently. Not this year!
Couldnt work out how to add a catch crop to the efa or how to remove a bean crop from it.
Will just about scrape through with 5% greening as long as they accept my hedge mapping version as opposed to their absolute shite effort. How the hell can they mark halfway up a hedgerow and then stop for 100m and then start again. The hedge is the same from one end of the field to the other.
Can I alter the form after tomorrow without penalty or is it so much deduction per day?
I looked in my communications log on the 15th, someone else`s application was in with mine, they just laughed and said they had made a mistake, be no laughing if i had made a mistake id have been guilty of fraud until i prove myself innocent and more than likely gained myself a financial penalty , i wonder if the plonker that messed up in rpa had 50 quid dock`ed of her wages for feking up ? no chance.It takes an hour to fill in the form and 3 weeks to correct the rpa mistakes.

I dont think many will be submitting claims after the 15th, or if they do they might be disopointed as we are not allowed mistakes .Good thing they didnt do that after the 28th of May or the new GDPR data rules would have kicked their arses.
Did you not know that things shrink in the cold? Hopefully as things warm up during the summer your fields will expand again!!
Is this a coincidence that Mental Health awareness week is the same week as the BPS forms have to be in !?!
I think all our stress levels would be much lower if the RPA got their act together. Some of the correspondence we have had from them this year has been unbelievable. Today was no exception, as we were notified that some of our fields were 0.001 Ha smaller than previously thought..........must have shrunk over the winter..............which is great as we put our 2018 claim in with the now 'wrong area' last week!

How do they manage when land is on the coast or next to a tidal river. They’d have to re-map it twice a day......That is exactly what they did last year.
We had a remapping inspection in May and as all the ditches were full of water, as requested by National England, they were deemed over 4m wide, so removed from the eligible area.
We then had another remapping inspection in December........ goodness knows why..... inspector inspecting the inspector....... and as all the ditches were low of water, they were going to add the area back in !
