View answerThe person named was approved to GLAS 3 with a contract commencement date of 1st January 2017. Payments have issued to this Herd for scheme years 2017 – 2020 inclusive. The GLAS advance payment for 2021 issued on 16th November 2021.
An administrative penalty was imposed on this application in respect of the Curlew action. Processing of the recalculated 2021 Balance Payment for the person named is now at an advanced stage and we expect payment to shortly.
Once payment of the 2021 Balance has issued, processing of the 2022 advance payment can commence. Administrative checks take place on all GLAS claims. All cases must clear validation checks before payment can issue. GLAS payments are continuing on a weekly basis as applications pass all validation checks and are approved for payment.
