Will this appeal work

For my cao I successfully completed three qqi awards. Two level 5 and one level 6. For my level 6 course being fine art level 6 I achieved two distinctions and 3 merits and two passes. I have a disability and needed extra support during my time in Douglas Street campus. I had top notch attendance and understood the work ethic and system but the time I finished my time there. I could've easily gotten more distinctions if I hadn't had these barriers and produced high quality work. I was able to plan my ideas quite effectively and just needed some extra guidance.

I have applied for arts history and am short of points because of this. I fear I won't get an offer because of this. I feel I need to make an appeal explaining my situation. I don't know if this will work or not. I'm curious if this has worked for anyone. Are they strict on specific distinctions even if your points are close and those top notch grades really matter that much?
