Yea I'd an issue with them alright, I weaned my calves in groups last year and there wasn't 5 days between 2 groups that I weaned. I only found out about it by chance. I was changing our application from my Dads name to mine and she just said by the way he's not going to get paid for 2009 due to a weaning issue. Nearly lost the life as we'd got no letter or email about it. Even though it only affect 6 calves she said we'd get no payment for any of 2009 SCWS.
Eventually she agreed to send it out in writing and I could appeal their decision.

Went to the Dept tent in the ploughing and went up to plead my case and they just said yea that's ok and she is supposed to have fixed it. Money is to be in this week so we'll see.

It's the fact that they never made any contact that annoys the sh*t out of me.

Is anybody else having problems getting the weaning forms for this year? Rang the no. on the IFJ a week or so ago, left a message, but still haven't heard from them. Same thing last year, never got the forms sent out, had to go look for them.
