The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016 and has received full payments in respect of the 2016 scheme year.

The Department became aware of an issue with this case that resulted in the 2017 advance payment not being made. The case has now been cleared and the payment will issue shortly. GLAS 2017 advance payments are continuing to issue on a weekly basis.

Validation checks are underway for the BDGP application of the person named. Payment will issue following completion of the checks pending compliance with the requirements of the BDGP.
