Good info from ChristopherG and "seconded" by thelegendlc - thanks.
I'm currently out on STD (just approved in February) and then heading towards LTD and SSDI and from my understanding it'll be the same as you state.
My LTD policy requires me to apply for SSDI as well since my LTD benefit will be reduced by the amount of SSDI benefits awarded so it makes sense that they would assist.
I'm not sure how my medical insurance will work - I hopefully will not need to purchase COBRA insurance and hoping I could go on my wife's plan thru her employer. I'm in California so not sure if any rules are different, and not of retirement age yet.
