Perfectly happy to be told I'm being unreasonable.
My friend escaped a very dangerous relationship a year ago. It was quite scary and took me and exH considerable resources to help relocate her and support her while she sorted her life out. She was essentially a victim of modern day slavery. She was diagnosed with PTSD, depression and generalised anxiety disorder after this ordeal. She got into temporary accommodation, sorted out her immigration status out, has her own passport for the first time, DC in nursery and is thriving. She got the right to work recently and applied for the civil service TSP.
She kept me abreast of her progress and did very well. Scoring top marks for every category - until the video interview. She told me she froze and was so nervous and anxious she almost passed out but managed to finish even though she rushed through. She got the results today and has not been selected to the last stage of assessment. The minimum score to proceed is 21/32. She scored 24/32, but the CS say they are taking 25/32. She is okay with this. I asked her if she disclosed her disability as she would have had accommodations such as extra time and this would have helped. She said she did not know she was allowed to do this.
I know she can apply next year. But she has essentially had 8 years of her life post uni stolen from her by a horrible man, and forced to work 18 hour days and never actually kept any money she worked for as her partner/"pimp" took everything and kept her bank account, card etc. I would love for her to get a fair shot. I know in the last stage of the assessment she will do well. I'm probably overinvested and she will get a job eventually, but I just feel so gutted for her. Is there a possible appeal process for this. She is just so ridiculously close and had 99% better than all test takers scores for all the stages.
Feel free to tell me I'm overinvested.
