<p>Is being classified as remedial by DODMERB (meaning that I have to submit more paperwork about my medical history) an uncommon experience? Or is it DODMERB being thorough and most people who are classified as remedial are eventually ok'd?</p>
<p>Thanks for your time</p>
<p>Also - If I improved my ACT scores but have been awarded a letter of assurance should I bother sending the new number?</p>
<p>I was remedialed by dodmerb (had speech impediment when younger) and I was Ok'd about 2 weeks after I sent in the paperwork saying I was "declassified as speech impaired".</p>
<p>I think it is dodmerb just being thorough and that most people are eventually ok'd. I seriously think more people are remedialed than you think and I wouldn't worry too much about it. I seriously think it all depends on what you are remedialed for. In my case, I knew I'd be fine. I haven't spoken incorrectly in years and I knew I had the paperwork to back it up. I think it all depends on why they require additional history. Different things are harder to get qualified from than others.</p>
<p>About your LOA question, I'd still send them the score, just for the heck of it. I guess you wouldn't need to but it wouldn't hurt.</p>
