There has been no interruption to the payment of grants awarded through the Crofting Agricultural Grant Scheme (CAGS). Funds can only be released once the successful applicants have completed the works and submitted their claim, which is then assessed by scheme officials.Payments to CAGS claimants are issued once a week. The most recent payments were made on 18 August 2026.
