By the end of this week initial processing of every GLAS I and II case for 2016 payment will have been completed. Of these 36,700 applications, approx. 1,400 applicants will have been informed that further information is required of them before their application can be advanced and it is now a matter for the applicant together with their Advisor to consider how they wish to proceed.

The information requested is set out below on a county by county basis for GLAS 1 and GLAS II 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.

This leaves approx. 600 applicants whose cases are being reviewed by the Department and every effort is being made to move these cases towards payment as quickly as possible.
