Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named was approved for the Results-Based Environment-Agri Pilot Project (REAP) with a contract commencement date of 1st January 2021. To date payments have issued for REAP to this herd for 2021.
As part of the conditions of the project, the scores allocated to a selection of herds must be re-assessed. This herd was selected for re-assessment. It has been confirmed that the processing of the 2022 REAP payment for the person named is now at an advanced stage and we expect payment to issue shortly.
Administrative checks take place on all REAP claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. REAP payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks and are approved for payment.
