Secondly, "within a year" is pretty significant. It is a convention that clearance stands for 12 months after you leave the post, purely to save paperwork and scarce effort. It is not a given (as I have said repeatedly) and may not always be transferable (as I have also said repeatedly).
Thirdly, they will have run a check (or two), it's just that haven't told you they have. Equally if the client isn't a Department or an inside the wire agency, they tend not to be very precise about SC rules anyway; certainly any Department won't take a commercial SC on trust but will require a re-vet.
Finally - and rather more to the point - we are talking general cases, in the vague hope that people will begin to understand the process. One-off edge cases don't help.
