The information requested is set out in the following table on a county by county basis for GLAS 1 and GLAS 2 applicants who have received a payment to date or will be paid in the next payment run by the Department in the coming days. In total this represents just under 95% of all applications received.

In addition there are just over 1,000 applicants from whom further documentation is awaited before their application can be considered further. The Department has notified these applicants of the documentation which is required and it is now a matter for these applicants to submit the required information if they wish to proceed.

This leaves 1,100 applicants whose cases are being reviewed by the Department and every effort is being made to advance these as quickly as possible.
