The person named was approved to GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of 1stJanuary 2017. GLAS payments have issued to this herd for scheme years 2017 to 2022, inclusive.

Administrative checks involving a number of sections within my Department take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. Processing of the outstanding payments in relation to the Farmland Habitat action for the person named is currently at an advanced stage.

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