[senco-forum] Help needed re exam arrangements- urgent

I believe that extra time or "stop the clock" arrangements are ones the centre does itself as long as they have the evidence (and you have).  I would have him in a separate room anyway and then other candidates are not disturbed.  This is top of head and without looking at the guide.

I hope someone out there can help- this is for tomorrow morning! 
The situation is that a parent has given us a doctor's letter saying his son
has a condition of excessive sweating which means that his son has to stop
writing and wipe his hands. He is asking for extra time for exams. I passed
the request on to others dealing with it and a few days ago had an irate
call- his son was not given the arrangements. Our new exams officer is being
trained and her trainer told me that he can't have the arrangement for the
second exam (tomorrow) as we should have applied for this to the exam board
in advance. I have read the regulations again and am not sure that I read it
that way though- surely it is a centre arrangement which we can do - i.e.
extra time and/or rest breaks and separate invigilation?   Also can we send
in a special consideration form for the first exam where he wasn't given the
arrangements? 
Please senco forum -do what you are so good at and give me some advice from
your vast experience !!
