As part of the 2016 GLAS prepayment checks on the application of the person named a cross check was carried out with the information submitted in his 2016 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) application.  This check indicated that in his 2016 BPS claim the GLAS Wild Bird Cover parcel, which is an arable crop, was declared by him as permanent pasture.

My Department has contacted the person named directly informing him of what he needs to do to allow processing of the GLAS 2016 payment to continue.
