The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received the payment in respect of the 2015 scheme year.

The Department is aware of an issue with this case that has delayed the 2016 and 2017 payments. It is expected that the matter will be resolved and payment will issue very shortly. GLAS payments are continuing to issue on a weekly basis.

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

A finalised commonage management plan (CMP) must be submitted in respect of GLAS participants with a commonage action.  This requirement has not been met by the applicant and payment cannot issue until it does.
