Thanks
I was told to expect to not receive my choice, and be sent somewhere near Manchester - so we may both be doing killer commutes. Someone mentioned travel advance loans for parking and rail fares etc so that may be a help?
Hope it all works out for you - and well done. :beer:

I did

see post #6801

I think you and Imight have the same HR dept

HR will have had my form for 3 days by Monday - I'll be chasing them up and let you both know the score. Have you been sent your 'questionnaires' from the DWP to forward to HR yet?

Great news. You must be delighted.

I must admit I had written off my London applications when I was told my positions on the reserve lists (64th, 96th and 194th). But it seems it is still a possibility...

As a Civil Servant (in another department) for far to many years that I care to remember (20 years plus and counting), for all of you that will have to pay to get to work, I am sure DWP (like my Department) offer interest free loans over 12 months.

These loans are for travel passes/car park season tickets & pedal bikes.

IE they loan you the money and then reclaim it in 12 monthly instalments from your salary - and you have to buy the ticket or its Gross Misconduct and your sacked !.

Hope this helps !

I see this listed as part of the employment package on the HMRC website, but can't find anything about it on other Civil Service sites. Can anyone confirm that this scheme is available in the DWP?

I was on the reserve list for B'ham & Solihull with a score of 28.

Got a provisional offer on Friday, so good luck to others who are on the reserve list - don't lose hope .
