It only just occurred to me that it's possible that the freephone number goes right back to that same office. It's not necessarily the case, but possible. The number listed for the branch itself was an 020 one, but the NI number was an 0845 one.

That would be my guess...unless there's some kind of unofficial JobCentre holiday that nobody else gets!

It's strange to me that you can't just set an interview time in advance. I'm *sure* the DWP site, last I checked on behalf of one of our students, said to call up and book the appointment, then go. That's what I did, although I know procedures have changed somewhat in the meantime.

Good luck with it - it just seemed like so much work for something that's so tiny and yet so vital! Although, in all fairness, getting a SSN is annoying too.

Here's the info I was working from.

It says I should go in person. Then they will write me with an interview time. I wonder how many months this process will take? (I only want to be paid for one lecture's worth of work at this point!)
