DWP employment waiting list

So, today is another day with no start date ...

for some reason I have received another Disclosure Sctoland certificate today. That's three now. It must be costing the DWP a mint!

Hey,

I have completed the tests (numeracy & literacy) which I passed fine, I then attended the assessment day (interview) and had a letter last Friday to say I had been successful and they were carrying out some last minute pre-recruitment checks (references etc).

A) How long should this take? How will they let me know the final outcome, via telephone or post?

I have a New Deal interview on this Thursday with a view to put me on a 2 week course the following week, will that still be necessary now?

Many Thanks

Well, if you read the forum you would see that most people can wait for many, many months before hearing a peep!! No one knows how long it will take for any individual. I would go for that interview if i were you, just incase. You could be waiting aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages!

You should get a call that is arranging a start date. You may also get your checks sent back to you. It's not uncommon to wait a couple of months before anything happens.

I have a question for anyone currently working in the Newport Benefit Delivery Centre/s.

Just wondering what car parking is like, is it free? Is there staff parking? Is there enough spaces for all people? should I get there before a specific time of the day to be sure to get a space?.

I'm waiting on pre-recruitment checks and don't know yet which exact office I will be in but it said on the success letter "Newport BDC". If anyone has an address for the office, this would be great also.

Thanks.
