Half of farmers' appeals against DAFM successful
Over half the appeals related to two schemes – the Beef Data Genomics Programme and the Areas of Natural Constraint scheme.
Almost half of all farmers were successful or partially successful in appealing decisions by the Department of Agriculture over their eligibility for a range of EU payments last year.
New figures published by the Agriculture Appeals Office show that 44% of farmers had a positive outcome to their cases during 2022 with their appeal either being upheld, partially allowed or the Department of Agriculture revising its decision in their favour.
