Preliminary checks will identify any over-claims, overlaps or dual claims in respect of online BPS applications. Notifications are issued where the Department finds such an error on the farmer’s 2022 BPS application.
The notification allows the farmer the opportunity to rectify these issues without penalty. Farmers and advisors should check the correspondence section of their BPS online account. Where a farmer is signed up for text message alerts, a text will issue to advise them that they have a notification on their BPS account.
Where a farmer or agent receives such a notification, they should log on to www.agfood.ie and respond before the closing date of 21st June 2022.
