It finally feels like spring has arrived; the evenings are drawing out, flowers are blooming, and lambing is in full swing.
With spring, comes the time to complete Welsh Government’s annual Single Application Form.
Farmers across the country will need to access their Rural Payments Wales account online as paper forms are no longer available. Without completing these forms, the Basic Payment Scheme, and a number of Rural Development schemes cannot be secured and so this is one of the most crucial forms farmers will complete.
If you notice any errors, you should inform Rural Payments Wales immediately if you want to make a change to avoid incurring possible penalties. If you don’t receive the acknowledgement email, please contact RPW via your RPW online account or ring the customer contact centre.
