A: For your SSDI phone interview, be thorough and truthful in describing the extent and impact of your disability on your daily life and ability to work. Gather and have ready all relevant medical records, doctor's notes, and any other evidence that supports your claim. Lastly, be prepared to discuss specific details about your work history, medical condition, and treatments, and ensure you are in a quiet place where you can focus on the call without interruptions.
