    It'd be unfair if they made me accept my home district and travel over an hour to work when the neighbouring district is more convenient.... I applied for both, I should be assessed for both.

    Fair point, but I can see both sides of the argument.

    So am I right in thinking your home district is Black Country, but it would be easier for you to travel to an office under Birmingham & Solihull? Or is it the other way round?

    I wonder if they go by districts to people who have to sign on? If so, over an hour to sign on if you live in your area is a p*ss take!

    Just got an application status sayin applocation on hold and iv been put on reserve list with a score of 32 for East London. Really hope i can get a place though

    What does your surname begin with?
  • I got an offer - am thrilled!!
  • MarkyMark can you confirm that you have been given an offer from Derbyshire with a score of 31.. (which is what one of your earlier posts says)?

    I have been put on the reserve list with a score of 38! Seems odd:shocked:

    What? Really? I know of another person who got an offer with 36. Is it definitely just based on interview and not on application and test scores?

    I admit I wasn't totally honest with my interview scores, purely because of the abuse I took when I put my application scores on. I didn't want to admit I'd scored relatively poorly and leave myself open to people gloating. Sorry. I figured if I didn't get an offer I'd just fade into the background and never post again..!

    Just a quick question. The people who have been accepted for E.London with 40 and 39. What are the first letters of your surname?

    Wonder if they are doing all the offers/declines in alphabetical order or if they are sending out all provisional offers first and then declines after

    I think it is based on score. I got mine (40) and then I heard of 39.

    F**K!

    Me too with 32. Disappointed but least theres still hope. Plus if people have chose more than one district then they can only accept 1 so places should be freed up.

    Im going to call dwp helpline tomorrow to see if i can find out what number i am on waiting list
