DAERA delivers new record for CAP payments


The payments, totalling £91 million, were issued to 23,676 farm businesses. Since the completion of advance payments in early November 2018, the department has maintained its drive to maximise payment performance. A total of £281 million in CAP payments has been issued in 2018.
This record number of payments, which builds on the achievements of last year (97%), has been made possible due to 100% of farmers submitting their Single Application online. Claims made online are faster, more secure and more accurate. Payments can only be made on fully verified claims.
