FFIS application/processing time?

[cessna]

Just wondering if any one who has applied for FFIS Grant funding can remember approx how long it took ,DEFRA/RDPE to process your application. Sent mine in on March 6th, and had an e mail April 2nd to say it was being processed.Have phoned for a progress report to no avail,all the guys told me is that the applications are sent to offices all over the country to be appraised.

I'm in the same boat. I was told originally it was on a 1st come 1st served basis and like you we got our application in early. However, I've since learned that is not now the case and after the horrendous flooding in the south west the bias may be shifted there. That was unofficial mind you. I spoke to a guy in lincs today who had his application for sheep equipment approved last week

We have had some customers we gave quotes for expecting a decision next week, while others have been told the end of July.
