New to Partnership Payment Scheme application update

We are pleased to announce that the New to Partnership Payment Scheme (N2PP) will be extended into the 2022/23 financial year and we have now removed the requirement to apply within six months of commencing a partnership role. Following a review of the timeframe to apply for the scheme, and in acknowledgement of the challenges the deadline presented to busy new partners as well as the additional pressures created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have removed the six-month deadline, including for submitted applications that meet all other eligibility criteria.
