The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received full payments in respect of 2015 and 2016.

Administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks in this case to allow for the issue of payment. Once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are being made on a weekly basis.
