The Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs has announced the launch of a BPS 2020 Support Scheme. This is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2020 scheme will again pay a loan of up to 90% of an individual business’ anticipated BPS claim value.
The Support Payment will alleviate the short term pressure on those farm businesses which do not receive their BPS payment on day one of the payment window, which opens on 1 December 2020.
The BPS 2020 Support Scheme will open for applications via Rural Payments Wales (RPW) Online on 1 September 2020 and will remain open until 27 November 2020.
