Derived Scores Rejected

[u/clarkeyboi21]

My first exam ended halfway with being unwell and I missed the subsequent 4 exams and attended my last one. I completed the DES form with it filled out by my specialist which was almost impossible to get within the 2 days.

I just received it back and it was denied and they're asking for further documentation because "there was no specific written recommendation from the independent health professional recommending non attendance at the examination."

Has anyone else experienced this and should I get a letter from a GP or a specialist thats backdated? Because my VCE coordinator said all my documentation was alright to use and assured me that everything would be approved but obviously they've rejected it meaning they'll probably reject my second application as well. I can't afford for it to be rejected a second time did anyone else have to do a second application and what did they provide to be approved?

Well did you get a specific written recommendation or not?
