The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of the 1 October 2015 and has received full entitlements in respect of the 2015 scheme year.
The 2016 prepayment checking established that the interim commonage form issued to the person named had not been signed and returned as required to support payment. This form has now re-issued to the assigned Commonage Advisor and when it is completed and returned by the person named the application will be further processed for payment.
