The person named was approved into GLAS 2 and has received payments for scheme years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Following an inspection, the Planting a Grove of Native Trees action was found to be ineligible on the application. However, this decision was subsequently the subject of a successful review. Department officials are currently working to reinstate the action and the payment for this action will be processed once this is complete.

GLAS payments continue to issue on a weekly basis.
