The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1January 2016.

The first payment due to the person named is in respect of the 2016 scheme year.  During the 2016 prepayment checks an issue was identified with one of the parcels claimed for Low Input Permanent Pasture action. Department officials have examined this issue and resolved it.  The application will now be re-run through the validation checks with a view to making payment at the earliest opportunity.
