Rural Payments Agency
There will be times when the Rural Payments service is unavailable because of essential planned maintenance and updates.
The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) will aim to minimise disruption to the service by scheduling planned maintenance times. We will try to give as much notice as possible about maintenance and downtime of the service, though we may not always be able to do this.
