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.

5,928 GLAS 1 participants and 3,335 GLAS 2 participants are awaiting payment in respect of the 2016 scheme year.

Outstanding payments under both GLAS 1 and GLAS 2 are largely due to unresolved queries associated with individual applications and Department officials are working through all the applications concerned on a case by case basis with the intention of processing payments which meet all required regulatory requirements on an on-going basis.
