How do I make a BSPS claim?

Before a BSPS claim can be lodged it is importance to ensure that:

1)      All the animals ages are correct

If an animal has an incorrect age go to the Individual Animal Records Identity details page and edit the age accordingly.

2)      Their premium status on the first day of the year is inserted.

To edit the premium status go to the Origin and movements page. In the Premium status box two check boxes are shown

  .

If the animal has had no subsidy claimed by the first day of the year leave both boxes blank.
If the animal has had first premium claimed by the first day of the year tick  only.
If the animal has had 1st and 2nd premium claimed tick both boxes.
If the animal is a bull only the 1st premium box will be displayed as it is not eligible for second premium.

Once the status has been set for all the animals at the start of the year you may now make a claim.  

If you have already lodged one or more claims this year you will need to make the claims again inserting the original dates and claiming on the same animals. This ensures only unclaimed animals appear on the lists and the financial values foe the claims tie up with actual claims lodged.

Making a claim

Select the Beef Premium page and click .  

In the Planned dates section insert the date you wish to lodge the claim (If you are a new user and are inserting claims made previously in the year insert the date the original claim was lodged). The ‘Start of retention period’ for each category of animal defaults to the day after the lodgement date, but each date can be user defined to start up to two months after the lodgement date.

  Click  to recalculate animal numbers for the new dates.

These animals are listed by eartag and by management ID (defined on the main page), To sort these animals by either ID or birth date, right mouse click on the required column and click .

To include an animal in a claim click on the relevant box in the ‘Include’ column so a tick appears.

Once all the required animals have been selected from the 1st Premium Steers, select the Bull Premium tab and select the required animals. Repeat this process for the 2nd Premium Steers.
