However, the claim for the second instalment highlighted a slight error in the grant payment categories (GPCs) originally submitted in the applicant’s claim for the first instalment of the establishment grant. The Forest Service has been in contact with the applicant’s forester regarding the matter and, consequently, it has corrected the GPCs for future payments. On this basis, it is expected that the applicant’s second instalment establishment grant and his 2013 annual forestry premium will be paid within the next two weeks.
