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

Low Input Permanent Pasture is one of the actions claimed by the person named and requires further investigation as there no record on the data bases held by my Department of an owned grazing enterprise on the holding which is a requirement for this action. Once this issue is resolved the processing of the 2016 payment will proceeed.

The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016.

The 2016 GLAS prepayment checks indicate that the person named is also a participant in a scheme operated by the National Parks and Wildlife Service.  This issue must be further investigated before GLAS payment can issue to protect against any risk of double payment under both schemes.
