Grant funding scheme query form

Details

Use this form if you, or someone acting for you, have a question about a grant funding application, agreement or claim you have made.

You can also use this form if you have been told you will not get a payment for any of these schemes:

  • Farming Equipment and Technology Fund

  • Farming Investment Fund

  • Fly Tipping Grant

  • Smaller Abattoir Fund

  • Water Restoration Fund

Read the rules for the scheme before you fill in the form. 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.

If your query is about a Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) socio-economic scheme (such as Growth Programme or Countryside Productivity), email us at RDPEclaimsqueries@rpa.gov.uk.

What to use this form for

Use this form if you:

  • think your grant payment is wrong

  • disagree with your payment calculation

  • need to send RPA additional evidence or information about a payment query you have already raised

  • disagree with a letter you have received about an application, agreement or claim

  • disagree with our decision to reject your application or claim

Do not use this form to query anything other than the grant funding information.

If you have any of these queries, call, email or write to RPA using these contact details.

How to fill in this form

Read the notes on the form – they explain what to do and how to fill in the form.

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.
