I abruptly came down with POTS in March of last year, but this is my first post here. I have my first phone interview with SSDI in two weeks. As I transition from short-term disability to long-term, my insurance company is forcing me to apply for SSDI. Just a hunch, but if SSDI turns me down, that is an excuse for LTD to do the same. If SSDI approves my claim, LTD will deduct that amount from my benefits. I get it in the rear either way...one of the few places I don't already have symptoms. :-) I'd love some tips from those of you that have jumped through the SSDI hoops as to what I should avoid and what I should emphasize. Thanks. Daniel
