What, Occy Health "verified" the epilepsy?  What does that mean in relation to your being able to do the job?  Are OH now to "verify" the hay fever aspect?

"I've told them that after being told to contact them should I have any questions or problems that I'm concerned about the low level of communication I've received from them.


"Now I think I've jeopardised my chances with them, to me a conditional offer isn't a real job till made unconditional. "

Was your concern "about the low level of communication I've received from them" expressed in that tone?  If so, I don't suppose they were enamoured of your response.

How can they verify epilepsy so quickly, but hay-fever not?

Exactly my point, but yes the low level of communication is one concern but the fact that I expressed that to them is why I think I've jeopardised my chances with them

Have you told them that you need to give 4 weeks' notice and can't start on the 30th - and if so, what was their response? (This should tell you a lot).

Yes I told them, n on the phone they saying the start date is provisional on the account yet they haven't changed it, and it took over 2 weeks to get that response, heard nothing since then, they lied about my dbs saying its been sent when it hasn't been

Is the employer a national employer ?

Sounds annoying, who told you the dbs had been sent off ? Did you speak to the same person re it ?

Is it not the case that 1 hand isn't talking to the other ?

Yes national employer, the manager told me, I spoke to area manager as the manager had day off when I rang.

Thats what I'm thinking

How were the sending it?   If you contacted the DBS and they had not received a DBS check request, maybe it was an intermediary who had not forwarded the request not the potential employer who had not submitted the information to the agent.  
Did the employer say they would chase the process?
