Question 4 - Calculating your yearly allowance
You have a maximum yearly allowance (the most you can claim in that year) based on the total area of land as declared in your SAF including your allocation of common grazings. Enter the total area of land declared on your SAF Field data sheets. If you have common grazing, use the previous year's allocation unless you know it has changed.

Question 5 - Calculating the allowance available for new LMO options
Use the figure for the total land from question 4 to work out your total allowance. Deduct the amount used for previous LMCMS commitments (this figure will be pre printed) then deduct the value of any LMCMS Animal Health and Welfare options you have entered in question 2. This gives the allowance available to you to undertake LMO options.
We will check these calculations and adjust your allowance where necessary. If the amount claimed in your LMO application exceeds your allowance we will restrict payment to your allowance.
