DAERA has support in place this year to assist farmers to complete their Single Application for 2017 online. They are holding SAF Awareness Sessions and these need to be pre-booked by calling 028 71 319955.
Dates are available across the 3 campuses in Enniskillen, Loughry (Cookstown) and Greenmount (Antrim). Attendees will get a demonstration of the Single Application and Maps Service and can also be assisted to complete their application on the night if they wish to do so. They will need their Government Gateway ID and password to do this. We would encourage those interested to book their place early to avoid disappointment later on.
There are also one to one digital assistance appointments available during the day at all of the local DAERA Direct offices. These must be booked through the SAF Advisory Service by calling 0300 200 7848. This is a one to one appointment where a staff member will help the applicant to navigate and submit their 2017 application and they will be provided with a summary of their application.
Further information, scheme guides and ‘how to’ videos are also available on the DAERA website.
