FwNH Claim Submission
The claim window will open in early 2027. Late claims will not be accepted.
Only farm businesses who have received an approval notification should submit a claim for completed actions and associated supporting items.
Claims are made online via DAERA online services. You must confirm that you have read, understood and agree to the terms and conditions of the scheme prior to submission of your claim. Once a claim has been submitted it cannot be amended online. If you wish to reduce your claim after submission you must complete a Claim Amendment Form (CAF1) as long as your business has not been notified of an inspection or a non-compliance.
If you do not wish to complete the online claim yourself, you can nominate an Authorised Person (Agent) to do so on your behalf. An online process is now in place for agent nomination. Information and guidance are available at the following link Online Agent Nomination. For further information on using the Online Agent Nomination Service you can call 0300 200 7848.
If you have not been able to maintain the RMOs you applied for you must only claim for what has been maintained.
Further information on claiming payment will be available prior to the opening of the claim window.
