Also can anyone with experience tell me when is the best time to apply for VR&E? Is it possible to apply before proposed ratings are received?

I was connected with an AF W2 rep who then connected me with a VR&E rep. I don't see any harm in trying to find a VR&E rep who is willing to go over options with you. I have a VA proposed rating, nothing from the DoD yet, and they took an appointment with me.
