View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received payments in respect of 2015 and the 2016 advance payment. The GLAS plus advance payment for 2016 was also processed.
Following an inspection a penalty has been applied to the holding, meaning a reduced 2016 balancing payment issued to the applicant. Further validation checks must now be undertaken to ensure that the 2016 GLAS plus payment is processed correctly.
The Department has not received any notification of the applicant's intention to request a review of the inspection result.
