At end of December 2016 there were 37,500 active participants in the GLAS scheme of which 27,400 received 85% of their 2016 payment.  Payment can only issue where all the required validation checks have been successfully passed.  My Department is reviewing outstanding cases and as they pass the validation checks they will be paid as quickly as possible.
