    Payments for FwNH will issue in summer 2027.

    See table below detailing the payment rates below.

    FwNH Scheme Payment table p3

    Payments for Tranche 4 applicants will be calculated on a pro rata basis for the 4 months the agreement covers, from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The maximum threshold of £20,000 for the FwNT Scheme does not apply for the FwNH Scheme.

    We will use the Bank Account details we hold for the farm business to make your payment. If you haven’t provided your bank details yet, please make sure to do so in order that we can issue your payment. If your bank details change you must inform us immediately. We will not make a payment to any bank account except the bank account which we hold for the business.

    If we determine that following payment, options were not maintained and/or not compliant with the terms and conditions, payment may he withheld or over declaration penalties may apply and we may recover monies already paid. This could include reducing future payments from us for the scheme or other schemes that you are eligible for. We also reserve the right to recover any other over-payments or debts (including Enforcement of Judgements Office debts) from your payments.
