I don't think there is a consensus but anecdotally I sent a LOCI after I went complete and before I received my decision and it didn't hurt me

Does anyone know anything about the Harriet E. Logan scholarship (the scholarship at Berkeley for the blind and visually impaired)? I can't find anything about it online- anywhere. The only reason that I know that it exists is because it's one of the scholarships you can choose from when applying. I have no idea if I qualify for it because they don't provide a definition for "visually impaired" (see my "Chance Me" post for my situation). I applied already (currently UR1) and marked that I was applying for it because I had no idea if I qualified, and I have barely any chance of being admitted anyway, but I'm curious.

If I were you, I'd email admissions. I'm sure they can either direct you to more details or give you more details.

I probably will if I, by some miracle, am admitted. I don't want to bother them about it until then, though, because it's so unlikely that I'll be admitted, and I don't think that there is anything that I could do pre-admittance for it, anyway.
