The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received an 85% first instalment payment in respect of the 2015 scheme year.

During the 2015 balancing prepayment checks issues were identified in relation to the Low Input Permanent Pasture action.  Department officials have resolved these issues and the application will now be further processed for the balancing payment.

Following the issue of payment in respect of 2015, the prepayment checks will get under way in respect of 2016.
