The person named was approved to GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015. GLAS payments have issued to this Herd for scheme years 2015 – 2021 inclusive.

Administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue.

Our validation checks highlighted an issue in relation to the Low-input Permanent Pasture action where there were discrepancies found between the GLAS contract and the associated Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) application. My Department is currently reviewing this case.

GLAS payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks and are approved for payment.
