How did you find out all this info? Are you also IRC 62979?
Well done though!

Email from CRB Scotland and a call to DWP gave me all the info.

Yes, it is for 62979.

Hello,

First time poster. So be gentle.

I have had a success letter for IRC62979 & have a problem that someone can, hopefully, answer.
How do they contact your referees? I have just found out that one of mine is off work long-term. His office will forward the letter to his home, if received by post. But if they email, no one can access his account, at present.
I've tried phoning the DWP but they do not seem to be answering calls.

Hi
They usually do email the person. However if they can verify your employment history with HMRC (Revenue and Customs) they will not contact your referees. I have had checks done for two positions and they did not need to contact my referees.

News on 62979.. i called earlier to find out about waiting lists & the lady told me that there is no waiting lists just a list based on what scores people got but that EVERYONE will be placed so it really doesn't matter.. hopefully December, if not January.. lets just hope she's not feeding me rubbish to shut me up lol.

Thank you for your reply fivefootsix . I have had a look through but it seems they slightly change the questions every so often, so I just wanted to know what their latest version was.

Hi all,
can anybody give some ideas what are they asking at the interview for EO?

My latest news is DWP recieved my completed CRB back on 23rd November, and it has now been mailed on to me.

They have also carried out the employment checks etc, so all OK.

Details have been passed to the hiring manager/department to contact me about start date etc, was told likely to be December.

Fingers crossed!

This is great news!!Do keep us posted.

WOW.Congratulations!!!!:T

That was quick.I am happy for you,also shows that acheiving good scores means that you get the good jobs faster.

Is this your preferred location?

So you can go for the interviews that you already applied for but not for any new ones after joining.Am I getting it right?
