An application under Tranche 2 of GLAS was received in my Department on the 14 December 2015 and the person named was approved into GLAS 2 with effect from 1 January 2016.

The first payment due to the person named is in respect of the 2016 scheme year. The 2016 prepayment checking process is currently under way with a view to issuing the first instalment before the end of 2016 subject to the successful completion of all required checks.
