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

During the 2015 prepayment checking process an issue was identified in relation to a cross check with National Parks and Wildlife Service schemes. Department officials have now resolved this issue and the application will now be further processed for the 2015 payment.

Following the issue of payment in respect of the 2015 scheme year, the application will be processed in respect of the 2016 scheme year.

The person named submitted a GLAS 1 application which was unsuccessful and subsequently appealed to the Agriculture Appeals Office where the appeal was allowed.

The application will be further processed as soon as possible.

The person named submitted a GLAS 1 application which was unsuccessful and accordingly the question of payment does not arise.

Records in my Department show that an application on behalf of the person named was also submitted under GLAS 3 and has been approved. GLAS 3 payments are due to commence towards the end of 2017.
