Rural Payments and Services

Customers who had a reduction and/or penalties to their 2015 claim for BPS, Greening, Young Farmers, or LFASS payments have been contacted by letter or email by the Scottish Government with an explanation of why those were made.

Customers who have not been contacted have no penalty and/or a reduction of less than £100 applied. Those customers can request a letter from their local area office by 31 May 2022.

Further information on the approach for issuing 2015 R&E letters

Please note that customers will not be subject to any further reductions - these letters simply provide a breakdown of why a reduction or exclusion was made in 2015. Where there is no reduction, there will be no R&E letter.
