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

Each GLAS claim must clear all validation checks before the 2017 advance payment can be made.  My Department is continuing to work to complete the checks required in this case. Once this case clears the validations, the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.

The Organic Farming Scheme payment will be processed following successful processing of GLAS payment.
