Yes, you can contact them regarding a condition which affected your studies, even if you weren't aware of it at the time.

They may need evidence, such as a doctors letter. Or they may ask for your school to send the confirmation in.

I would call rather than emailing initially. If you do email later, follow that up with a call to check receipt. Basically try and get it resolved before AL results day, and don't sit waiting for responses to emails.

Having a long term health condition does not entitle you to a contextual offer. See UCLs contextual conditions below. They may or may not consider you under extenuating circumstances and may accept you as a near miss. Ring them as already advised.

To be eligible you must be attending or have attended a UK state school for your A Levels/Pre-U/IB Diploma and live in an area that has a high level of financial, social or economic deprivation, or low progression to higher education.

As above, if longterm health isn't in their contextual criteria then this would relate to mitigating circumstances instead.

Same process as my other post, submit evidence to them ASAP so they have it alongside your results.
