Failed my PhD
A

I have submitted my PhD beginning of 2016, and I have to wait 8 months to my VIVA to take a place. The examiners failed me for my writing standards, which was understandable for someone like me (suffering from Dyslexia). I told the university afterward that I am dyslexic, which they appoint a proofreader. I have spent 9 months covering all aspects and comments. It was the worst 9 months in my life.
After resubmission, it took 19 weeks for the examiner to let me know that I have failed. Of course, I contacted the department few times before to ask, when my results will be issued. I have received few replies of which, to be careful, that the examiners could be defensive or they need more time. It was so frustrated and I have suffered from anxiety all that time.

The reason of my failure was comments were not mentioned in the first revision of my thesis were mentioned in the second version of my thesis, despite the text was the same in the first and second version of the thesis.

I appealed the decision. However, they refused my appeal and totally ignored that there was misconduct by the examiners.

Any advice of what shall I do? I need to write a case review and I have only 10 days to re-appeal?
