Aging has to play a part in low iq, and medication.

If accepted, that score would qualify for a listing of intellectual developmental disorder, but I think there is almost no chance you'll receive an OTR decision with the qualifications the Examiner wrote.
I believe an ALJ could deny you benefits at a hearing based upon what that Examiner wrote.
If you could be retested before the ALJ hearing, that would be a VERY good idea.
