Having a rating, or the value of the rating, is irrelevant. It all comes down to the condition(s) in question. I would guess the vast majority of folks rated under 50% can get an FAA 1C unless they have something specifically disqualifying (ex diabetes). If the stuff your rated for doesn't intefere with flying and is stable, you should have no worries. Bring supporting docs for anything questionable.
