Good luck with your interview, so weird it's on a Sunday. Let us know how you get on.


Is anyone applying for the customer adviser job in Walsall (AO)? Just seen that one come on today. Also, are the online tests all the same for all grades, or are they easier the lower down the grade? I've only ever done one for the B'ham EO job, the vacancy before that was an old style one.

Thanks for your Good Luck wishes!

I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. However, I may apply for this job too. Does anyone know the address for the Pensions & Disability Office in Walsall, I need to check to see if I can commute to this site. Thanks in advance.

No problem - you can find out when you click on the map - click and it will take you and you can get directions and whatever

Anyway, I just checked its a 7 minute walk from Walsall Station to the Walsall DBC

I don't live in Walsall but I have been before but doesn't mean i cant find out how long and where it is- we have the wonderful technology of today!!! i.e. google maps/directions

Hello!!

Sorry if this has been asked before - im a bit new! Does anyone know what the pass mark for the DWP Ocat is? I applied for a EO position and passed the test. Unfortunately the postion was withdrawn. HR have told me i scored 95 and that this will be held on file for 6 months should an other position arise.

Does anyone know what the pass mark is or what the top score is?


Many thanks in advance xx
