The above named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has been paid in respect of the 2015 scheme year and the 2016 advance payment.

An inspection of the GLAS actions was carried out which found an issue with one of the actions chosen. An appeal has been lodged in respect of this. Neither GLAS nor Organics payments can issue until the outcome of the appeal is known.

The person named was approved into GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2017.

Validation checks must be passed on all actions on GLAS claims and all cases must clear these checks before payment can issue. My Department is working proactively to complete these checks on all claims to allow for the issue of payments. Once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
