The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016 and has received all payments in respect of scheme years 2016 and 2017.

An issue arose in relation to the request by the applicant for a transfer of the GLAS contract which has delayed the 2018 Advance payment. The associated BPS application is now under a herd number and not under the partnership number as previously. Department officials are aware of this change and are actively working to complete the required change of client for this applicant.

Once this case clears validations the 2018 advance payment will be made. GLAS 2018 advance payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
