Rural Payments Agency's latest figures show thousands still waiting for money

In total, initial payments are yet to be made to 3560 individuals – although the bulk of these are pony paddock claimants.

The RPA said on Wednesday (27 Spetember) that it had made full or partial payments totalling £1.498bn to 112,914 customers. This means that 98.86% of the total amount due has now been paid to 96.94% of claimants.
