CEM and SEN how well do they go together ?

I just wondered if anyone in a CEM area had any experience of obtaining any extra allowances. We are in a county where it is being introduced this year, lucky us ! to be the guinea pigs, although I think the new test may suit my daughter better than the old one which was super confusing, even to adults ! and very tutorable.
My DD has dyslexia and dyspraxic tendencies, not that you would know now, but it really affected her in infants. It took her ages to learn to read for example, now I can't stop her and she is well above average in reading (reading age 12).
She is no longer on school action but does still struggle in math and gets a bit of extra help from the teacher. She really wants to try for grammar,and now she has got used to working around her problems, her progress is immense.
However, I will be requesting extra time etc as I have an educational psychology report recommending this. I have been told by admissions they will need to review the CEM criteria specifically, so does anyone have any experience of CEM in this aspect from other counties ? also, is anyone else putting in special requests this year in Glos ?
I am not too hopeful as she is not on school action, but it is worth an ask and is evidence if we have to appeal
