[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 191894, member: 2672"] Generally, yes they are. Although it does depend what the circumstances are and also how long a period you are claiming them for. It becomes very difficult for recruiters to determine your true ability if the majority of your evidence is impacted by the circumstances. Put frankly about this, I see too many people trying to claim mitigating circumstances that are fairly innocuous and you question why they would have had such a severe and long term impact compared to people who have had severe circumstances that undoubtedly would have had an impact that seem completely justified, especially when they can show it only led to a blip in performance.
