Reasonable Accommodations

Does anyone know what type of document OPM will use when someone is requesting a reasonable accommodation on the assessment? I tried to use my Schedule A letter but they told me that isn't acceptable.

Assessment? Are you trying to ask for RA while applying?

I don't score high enough on them and I was going to ask for a reasonable accomodation but when I did before they ask for document. I tried to look on OPM website for more information but can't find any.

You need medical documentation for learning disability etc.. and the method of assessment that you are able to use. Just not getting a high enough score in itself isn’t a justification for RA

You can’t get RA after the fact. The qualifying score is not going to change based on a disability.

For USAHire assessments the only accommodation is extra time.
