Yeah I’m not sure why it seems to be taking so long, the last few months people seemed to be getting them quickly. We booked the medical when we where DQ’d but with out the interview date I decided to call and ask but they said I could still do it. So atleast that will take care of that hopefully. I thought you needed a interview date but apparently not. 

Maybe they delayed to let the medical clinic catch up. The last in this thread who received dates, got the notice in February. Nobody reported notice of interview in March.  It’s not the first time they have skipped a month, but it’s been most often the middle of every month. Give it a week and see if appointments start coming out for May interviews. That’s the closest thing to a pattern there is,

From what I’ve seen people have been given April interviews in march. Not on this thread but In peoples timelines?

When do the late March people expect to actual have an interview, everything seemed to be going well with interviews but it’s past when we thought we’d atleast know when our interview date was. I’m just curious when all the late or even early March DQ people expect or hope their interview date to be? Thanks

Hi, just got DQ’d today 9/4/22.

When can I expect to have interview at the current rate?

Also, what would I need to do/prepare now? Should I be booking the medical now?

Yep go ahead and book your medical, and get out the way whilst you're waiting for your interview date. 

 

Based on the above comments, it seems you can expect to wait anything form 1 to 4 weeks to get an interview date, interview dates maybe withing a week of the email being sent so best to get your medical booked, so it's sent over in time.

I know! I had someone reply on Fb that DQ’d March 18 and got their letter on the 23rd for April 6th interview. We were DQ’d the 21st and still haven’t gotten the IL. Been monitoring the sitch for awhile and don’t see why we haven’t got one yet.

I saw someone on FB with DQ March 18, no expedite, they got their letter on the 23rd and had interview first week of April. We were DQ March 21st and haven’t heard anything 🤬🤬

So one can go for

medical without interview letter?

Book for medicals before interview letter comes in if you have been dq'Ed, it's difficult getting an early  date when you receive interview letter

My med appointment is on the 27th of April but am yet to get an IL. Am

beginning to worry about it cause I sincerely do not want to change the date I got for medical appointment.

You can go for your medical once DQ’d without a interview date. They are valid for 6 months is my understanding.

Hello everyone, are any late March DQ people hopeful we might get our interviews this week? I’m totally losing faith at this point, it seems to have just stopped now.

I want to feel hopeful but I am in the same boat as you and beginning to lose hope. I have an IR1 case and got DQ'd 22/03/2022. I haven't heard anything about an interview.

People seemed to be getting interviews really quickly just two weeks ago then suddenly nothing. A few people have mentioned about medicals being behind so they may have paused but when I booked my medical after being DQ’d there didn’t seem any issues. Just a mess at this point after so long

Don't loose hope, you will get an email soon possibly this week or next week. Unlike other countries UK seem to have cleared their backlog so fast
