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. Department officials are actively working to finalise the requested change of client in this case.

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