The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015.

During the prepayment checking process in respect of the 2015 scheme year, issues were identified with the Traditional Hay Meadow action. Officials in my Department are actively working to resolve these issues with the intention of issuing payment at the earliest opportunity.

Following the issue of payment in respect of the 2015 scheme year, the pre payment checking process will get under way in respect of 2016.
