We understand that sometimes you may need to apply for an Extenuating Circumstance (EC) if your disability is making it difficult to complete your work.
If you require additional time, it won’t be applied automatically, so you’ll need to submit an EC claim and use your Greenwich Inclusion Plan (GIP) as evidence.
You can use your GIP for an EC claim if it confirms and supports that you have a:
- Fluctuating mental health condition and/or
- Fluctuating long-term medical condition, and/or
- Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) that permits extra time
- Physical disability that permits extra time
- Sensory disability that permits extra time
Please note that the reason for your EC claim must be linked to the fluctuating mental health/long-term medical condition/SpLD. To use your GIP as evidence on an EC claim, select ‘Yes’ in the ‘Use Inclusion Plan’ field of your EC claim.
