Rural Payments and Services

The Agriculture and Rural Economy Directorate (ARE) is continually monitoring the situation with COVID-19 and we will continue to review the situation and provide updates when necessary.

With the current government advice that people should be working from home wherever possible and following the strict ‘social distancing’ restrictions, we recognise that this will be causing implications for customers needing to complete their Single Application Forms (SAF) within the required deadlines.
