I think there are quiet a few on here who got funding via exceptional cases.

Mine was, at the time I'd applied the BMI in my area was 40, mine was 37, but as I have secondary arthritis in my knee due to an accident which has given me poor mobility I got funding.

Your G.P. will need to base your BMI on what it was when you originally applied and then show how you have assisted your weightloss. Detailing what diets you've been on and how much you've lost etc. He will need to put down any weight related health issues you have as well.

Hope that helps, good luck
