An existing long-term condition can't usually be considered an extenuating circumstance unless the condition was made worse by something that happened during or leading up to the assessment.

If you have a Greenwich Inclusion Plan (GIP) there are some circumstances where you can use your GIP as evidence to support a claim. You can find more information on how to use your GIP as evidence on the Accepted EC Circumstances page.

If you’ve been newly diagnosed with a long-term condition which you haven’t been able to tell us about before, you should submit your extenuating circumstance claim with evidence of your diagnosis and contact the Student Wellbeing team for further advice about managing and supporting your condition.
