The additional payments issued to farmers so far in 2019 totals €50,000.
This equates to an average additional payment of €700 for each farmer.
All GLAS contracts are reviewed as part of a standard process to identify where an underpayment or an overpayment has occurred due to a change in GLAS action.

The numbers involved and the total value of these additional payments has not yet been finalised.
