Give DWP the contact details of the person/company who interviewed you so they can double check?

OK didn't know if I needed to give it to them or not as never missed appointment

Would a mobile number and name be enough or wouldn't advisor need more info

They won't check. You need to provide a letter from them or at least your original application. If you do not supply sufficient evidence of the interview then you are most likely to get sanctioned. It's how the DWP works.

Throw a sicky. Ask for a JSA28 form to fill in. They won't buy in to your job interview explanation and you have no proof that you went.

Just tell the truth! It's pointless making things up. You will just damage your credibility and increase the likelihood of a sanction.

If you had an interview just give your advisor the info you have to hand. If it was something else just explain it as best you can.

A Mobile number and a name could be anyone.

I would give the address and official telephone number of the company (a letter if you can or if not a printed webpage). They can then ring the number and ask to speak to the name you gave to confirm you attended the interview.

More for future reference for anybody in this situation - ask at interview for a letter confirming attendance because you will need to explain why you missed a JSA appointment.
