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

Administrative checks take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. My Department is working proactively to complete the checks in this case which are expected to be completed shortly. Once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments are being made on a weekly basis.

The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received the full payment due in respect of 2015 and 2017.

There is an issue with the 2016 payment which was made less the payment due for two Hen Harrier Actions. The outstanding payments for 2016 will be processed in due course according to the regulatory requirements.
