Budget Impacts on Defra Spending

As a result of yesterday’s budget announcement, the Delinked Payments reduction for 2025 was published. A 76% reduction from the base value is to apply to the first £30,000, with no payment on any element of the claim over £30,000. Therefore,  if your BPS base value had been £30,000 or above, your Delinked Payment in 2025 will be the maximum of £7,200. Anything less that £30,000 and your payment will be 24% of your original base amount. There is no indication of what, if anything might be paid in 2026 or 2027.
