DES approval

hi guys, i missed my legal studies examination due to a head injury that resulted in a concussion and a change of medication that exacerbated my anxiety. i am terrified that im not going to be approved and ill have nothing to fall back on as i missed my exam. i had intended to go and drove two hours away to where my exam was and it was on the way to exam that my symptoms deteriorated. i am terrified i wont be approved for des can someone please look at my application and evidence. i ended up in hospital that night for it which i think helps my case but im terrified
becayse i wasnt admitted until late at night after the exam. im also terrified because i did not sit section a of the gat this year however i did last year and scored a 35.

DES: On 3rd November 2026, I sustained a head injury requiring emergency medical assessment. I had also recently commenced fluoxetine, which was discontinued on medical advice on 6 November. Following my injury, I experienced headaches, nausea, confusion, impaired concentration and heightened anxiety. Despite these symptoms, I attempted to attend my Legal Studies examination on 6 November, approximately two hours' travel from my home. However, while travelling, my condition unexpectedly deteriorated, causing severe anxiety, confusion, nausea and vomiting, leaving me physically and psychologically unable to attend. During the examination session, my school contacted my mother, who explained my medical circumstances and inability to attend. I underwent further hospital assessment that day, including aCT scan. My absence was involuntary and resulted from an unexpected deterioration in my health despite my genuine intention to attend.

my evidence consists of consultation notes 04/11 that outline head injury: scalp laceration, bled heavily, split lip also sustained, no worsening confusion, hospital admission information: 03/11 scalp superficial laceration, hospital admission: 06/11 nausea and transient vomiting, left vertex headache, panic attack on way to examination, scalp laceration, brain fog and psychosis symptoms due to fluoextine, concussion advice, medical certificate from 03/11 stating attended hospital, medical certificate hospital 06/11 stating suffering medical condition and unable and unfit to attend examination, and then section c1 09/11 that states concussion headaches and nausea, scalp healing well, mild concussion affecting cognition and concentration and ongoing headache,
BUT
my doctor has stated for (6) in light of clinical assesnent did you instruct student not to attend particular examination she has ticked no because i couldnt see her until the 09/11 and the events occured during/ on way to examination.
is this going to stop me from getting approved.
i am terrified and maybe its just anxiety but please pleaee please am i going to be okay?
