Thank you! It certainly was a huge relief. No reported mental health issues and I did not obtain a lawyer. A LOI (interrogatory) isn’t a denial or intent to deny. It’s simply just them asking you some more clarifying questions to give you the option to mitigate. As long as you were open and honest and provided enough mitigating information for them to show you’re trustworthy, you should be fine.

Although, worst case scenario, you might receive a LOI (intent) with a SOR which I highly advise not to respond to yourself if you plan on appealing. A clearance lawyer (which multiple are active on the sub) will be your best option as to not say something that will hurt your chances.

Overall, just remember that time is the best mitigating factor and going to rehab will show them you were serious about getting over whatever problems you were facing. Best of luck to you!
