Mine waa all done online. Any paperwork required scanned in online.
Any time payment structures are changed a new system goes in seemingly and it's the new system that has ****ed it all up

germanicus

Folks who hadn't got the herd number sorted before the deadline and so couldn't get on agfood could send in paper applications

Nettleman

Just been told that other scheme payments cant be made now as NR/YF's section is holding up other scheme payments.

Nothing here of anything.
Cavan Dvo say last payments sent out today before Christmas,
Open Again on 29th,
Another few payments will be issued then, but they won't be in bank till 4th January,
So if your not paid today, you'll wait till January 4th, happy days to us all ...

are the DVO's holding things up because i though payments can be proposed in Portlaoise but the local DVO gets final signoff. Maybe thats where the hold is?

I don't know
Hasnt Cavan Dvo the say over the payments unlike any other local Dvo.
She said they can propose payments everyday as long as the other bodies sign off that paperwork is ready for payment

Letter which was put up yesterday now appear to be taken down. Anyone else have the same experience?

My national reserve acceptance letter has been taken down too and I foolishly didn't download it when it was viewable. Payment still showing as due in Financial self services.

Phone still going to answering machine in the bps section, and the transfer section, due to higher volume calls. would I be right in thinking there not even open at 10:00 Monday morning !!!

Can't get over the poor service provided by the Dept.

A woman directing calls in the Bps section answered and put me through to some other part of the transfer of entitlements section.......who...wait for it..... Didn't answer....!!!!!

Local TDs remind them that theres an election around the corner

barnaman

No joy either lads. Still waiting on my BPS! The issue with that was this Young Farmer and noticed on my login screen that an alert about BPS is gone that was under the Entitlments Screen on the right. I never has an issue with my YF/Reserve application ie insufucient information provided etc and had all my paperwork and I am a ft farmer so how this Reserve/YF has managed to banjax the whole thing is beyond me.

Time to call a few politicans alright.

Just spoken to contact in Dept who reckons payment will be Christmas week. Still sorting through applications apparently!!

That didn't happen....

barnaman

Yeah spoke to her briefly over Christmas she said she got the commencing week right! (was meant to be the 1st). Not work in this dept but seems that in general too much stuff is/was happening in Dec ie Glas round 2 and the rest. And that they (Dept of Ag) are understaffed!

Off point but going to ask local politicans why cannot have quartley payments when they look for my vote.

okay wool, afaik, theres no greening or YF topup in that. Greening should bring it to 250, and 25% YF would bring it to 312...
