General ACCAMitigating Circumstances

There is no information about exactly how ACCA may make allowance - maybe a very marginal fail (48-49%) might be given benefit, but isn't going to help an outright fail. By mitigating circumstances we are generally talking about illness/accident/bereavement etc pretty much on the day. Details about making a claim cane be found in the section "What happens if I have attended my examinations but it has been affected by illness or other factors?" here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/exam-sessions.html#FAQs-about-sitting-an-exam When you log in to myACCA, in the “My qualifications” section of the Student Portal you will see a link to “Centre complaints” in the list below the “Book an exam” link. Note that the very strict deadline for submitting claims is 13 March. However, as you have a chronic illness you might instead consider requesting additional support for future exams https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/additional-support.html

Thank you, I feel like it may be close and was unable to answer a big chunk of the paper due to it. Do you know what additional support can be requested for chronic illnesses? I was unsure on what could be accommodated. I am one to just get on with things but I did notice a difference in my performance compared to before I got a chronic illness. For me it is remembering a huge amount of rules/conditions and time management of the exam due to fatigue/brain fog. Thanks

Depending on where your centre is you might get a desk in a quieter room and/or extra time - I suggest you explore the information on ACCA's www and then it can't hurt to make an enquiry.
