View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016.
The first payment due to the person named is in respect of the 2016 scheme year. During the 2016 prepayment checking process, an issue was identified with the Conservation of Solitary Bees (Sand) action. Department officials are examining this issue with a view to resolving and further processing the application for payment at the earliest opportunity.
