Details
You (or those acting on your behalf) should fill in this form if you have a query about a CS application, agreement or claim you have made, or you have received confirmation that you are not due any payment.
Only fill it in after you have read your CS scheme rules. Then send the form to the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) by email or post.
If you’re sending more than one form by email, use a separate email for each form.
What to use this form for
Use this form if you:
- think your CS payment is wrong
- disagree with your payment calculation
- need to send the RPA further evidence or information about a payment query you have already raised
- disagree with a letter you have received about a CS application, agreement or claim
- disagree with our decision to reject your CS application or claim
Do not use this form to query anything other than the CS information.
If you have any of these queries, call, email or write to RPA using these contact details.

After you’ve submitted the form
You’ll receive a response after your query has been looked into fully.
If we find that we do not need to take any further action, we’ll explain why. If we need to take further action, we’ll confirm what we’ve done and the effect this has had on your original query.
If you have another query that you have not already told RPA about, fill in and submit a new query form.
