Rural Payments and Services (RP&S) website - essential maintenance

The Rural Payments and Services (RP&S) website will undergo essential maintenance from 5pm on Monday, 26 October until Friday 30 October, resulting in a temporary removal of external access to the platform and several related services.

During the maintenance period, RP&S and associated external facing services will be unavailable — including:

  • Manage Applications and Claims
  • Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS)
  • Land Information System (LIS)
  • Future Farming Investment Scheme (FFIS)
  • Horticultural Marketing Unit Online (HMU Online)
  • Community Right To Buy (CRTB); and
  • Agricultural Census

We expect services to be restored on Friday, 30 October, although a specific time is not yet available. A further update will be provided once this is confirmed.

Guidance pages can still be accessed during the maintenance period.

If you have any questions, please contact your local area office.
