Dwp pre employment checks

I have have been waiting 5 weeks for my pre employment checks. I have no issues or reasons for it to take this long. What are others experiences?

My employment checks are going into the 8th week now.

I’m now on my 4th week of pre employment checks.
A friend of mine applied in the first wave and hers took 9 weeks! This was pre Christmas

Mine took 5 around 5 weeks. R u current civil servant?

Im not no. My original application was for Redhill but they ran out of office space just after offering me the job. So they offered me Croydon which is much closer for me to travel. Croydons campaign at the time was ongoing and only received interview results a few weeks ago, I'm thinking they’re waiting for those to go through pecs so we get start dates together

Probably thatswhy its taking that long. They dont usually take that long for pre-employment checks only

Mine took 5 weeks. Are you waiting for Greater Manchester ones or Cumbria one?

I applied for the DWP Credit Review role in August 2023. My PEC commenced on October 13th, 2023, and was completed on January 05th, 2024. I now have a start date of February 12th, 2024. From start to completion took a total of 6 months.

I am still waiting also. I recently received an email stating, "You have successfully submitted your details onto the uCheck HR Screening Platform." I am not sure what this means??
