What is the job center policy on attending interviews early?

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

What is the job center policy on attending interviews?

I was told last week things are changing and now some people have to wait outside and be called in to the building if your 5 to 10 minutes early?

I personally don’t believe that seems like some sort of discrimination. After all job Centre plus have waiting rooms and chairs and sofas. For people to sit down and wait.

what is the law or policy?,.. is it true you now have to wait outside to be called in to the building if you have an appointment.

Yours faithfully,

DAVID JAMES

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work and Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'What is the job center policy on attending interviews early?'.

covid is over, at that time you were not required NOT to attend the job centre AT ALL!!!!!!!
I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS REASONING, furthermore if this be the case why is no of your staff members or the members or public not wearing Any masks. Please stop wasting time!!

Please stop wasting time by trying to cover for dwp work colleagues by lying for them and making up nonsense.

Is there a policy or law when attending interviews if you come 5 minutes early? Are you forced to wait outside when there are waiting rooms inside the building and no one is in the building at that time? So, we know can save on the excuse the building is full.

No clients in the building. Wating room is empty. Your 5 minutes early for an interview the person at the front states you have to wait outside, stating new rules, things are changing.

Can you know tell me what is the new law or policy on forcing people to wait outside when you have sofas, a chairs computer inside and waiting rooms inside when there is no one inside and this is nothing to do with any type of covid.

Since its hard for you to just explain the truth. A yes or no will do.

What is the law or policy on making, forcing people to wait outside given the above explanation...? Please stop wasting time.!!

!.) NO THERE IS NO NATIONAL POLICY FORCING PEOPLE TO WAIT OUTSIDE. WHEN ATTENDING INTERVIEWS
2.) YES THERE IS A NATIONAL POLICY FORCING PEOPLE TO WAIT OUTSIDE WHEN ATTENDING INTERVIEWS

YES OR NO!!!!!!
