(a) notify the person (in writing or otherwise) of that opinion; and
(b) ask the person:
(i) to attend an interview with the CES; or
(ii) to take part in an interview with the CES by telephone, video‑link or similar means.

(b) the person has not already been interviewed under subsection (1) in connection with so becoming a participant; and
(c) the person has not been referred to a case manager at any time since so becoming a participant; and
(d) the CES becomes of the opinion that if:
(i) the CES were to ask the person to attend or take part in an interview with the CES under this subsection; and
