DWP EO work coach interview query

I have an interview booked for Saturday and understand that I will be asked 6 questions for the 3 competencies. One of them I covered in the 500 word written pieces but am wondering if I can also use this in the interview or do I have to come up with another scenario
Thanks

I did this for my interviews with the civil service. They asked me verbatim the competencies I had answered on the application form. I gave the same answers but expanded a bit and added in any other relevant information. I got offered 2 of 3 jobs, so it can be acceptable to use the same examples.

You can use the same examples, but you’ll have time in your interview to set more context, give more detail etc.

I didn't get it which was no surprise as I babbled away like a right idiot. I did get very good feedback though commenting on what I said and what I could have expanded on. Not sure how its possible though in the 3 minutes allowed
