View answerThe person to whom the Deputy refers was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016. Both the 2016 advance payment and balancing payment have issued.
The 2017 advance payment has been delayed due to outstanding documentation required from the applicant in respect of the Rare Breeds action. The documentation has recently been received. This will enable the further processing of this case. Once all validation checks are cleared the payment will be made. GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
