Any truth to this from money advice service.
-----------------------------------------
right to time off to look for work
Youre entitled to paid time off to look for work or undergo training. The amount of time you can take has to be reasonable.
If youve worked continuously for your employer for at least two years they have to pay you up to 40% of a weeks pay to cover your time off.
For example, if you work a five-day week you can take two days off in total to attend interviews and your employer will have to pay you for this time. If you take any more time off than this, they dont have to pay you for it.
Some employers are more generous so its worth discussing it with them.
---------------------------------------------------
Just that I have an assesment with a toc but have had my leave request of two days rejected, I have given ten days notice, I work in a retail distribution centre on a 5/7 shift pattern that operates 24/7.
Not seen any posts on here regarding lack of time off for assessments, but think I would need extra days off anyway for assesment two and maybe line manager and medical if I get that far,

Seems like the two days is only for those facing redundancy, any advice here
