An application under Tranche 1 of GLAS was received in my Department on the 11 May 2015 and the person named was approved into the GLAS 1 with effect from 1 October 2015.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue.

The application of the person named successfully completed the GLAS pre-payment validation checks in respect of the 2015 scheme year and the full 2015 entitlement was paid to them on 29 July 2016.
