All I can say to you Snickeron and Bennett is be patient, be very, very patient. I had my Assessment Day last September, reference check a couple of weeks after that, got all the medical stuff sorted last November and still have not been formally offered a position or given a start date. It's doing my head in, but what can you do. I've elected for Tower and they told me August this year, maybe February 2016.
Hope this helps.
