DWP employment waiting list
Comments

I feel the same, you ease your foot off the jobsearch pedal a bit when you think you have a job and I'm annoyed at myself for that. I can't help but wonder if DWP know that and do what they do deliberately so they will have a bigger pool of people available (who haven't gone off and got another job in between waiting). Maybe I am feeling paranoid or too cynical at the moment but I reckon all this keeping people waiting is done deliberately to suit them and their needs (at least in part).
its crossed my mind too, we wud be making their job easier for them then by getting a job and in theory 'leaving the list' they dont have to make as many choices0 -

I believe it's standard in the DWP for ALL complaints to be responded to within a set time frame, even if it's just to tell you to go away. If you haven't received a response, someone hasn't done their job.0 -
oh i enjoyed that. nothing like a good moan to make you feel better.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
poor louise must be feeling bit stressed now. have to feel bit sorry for her. not really her fault i suppose.0 -
She needs to pass it on then. Eventually it'll hit the top and hopefully the person responsible for this will have to deal with what he/she's done.0

Well, you should be very proud of yourself!! You are doing well and have achieved alot, especially getting out of an abusive relationship...lots of women are not brave enough! You have a loving and supportive husband now at least
Hopefully you will get this job soon in the next month at least and times will start to get easier for you. That's what i am hoping. Until then i am trying not to worry about it too much as the stress would do me no good.
