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 before payment can issue. An issue arose with this case during the validation process which has now been resolved. Payment is expected to issue in this case shortly. GLAS payments are continuing to issue on a weekly basis.
