If this is not available, or your condition was diagnosed a long time ago, then any statement from an employer, line manager or Occupation Health advisor will be sufficient.

If you wish to sit your exam via ProctorU again, you will need to pay a reschedule fee of £32 (which you can do in the Candidate Portal) before you can select a new date and time.
Alternatively, you can reschedule your exam via our AIPP service, where you can take your exam over Zoom without downloading any additional software. Please note there are fewer exam slots available through AIPP.
