And any tips for the phone interview? How long does it last, and do they immediately let you know whether they think you qualify?

Use all you suspect....if you don't have medical records then they will have you see one of their psychiatrists/doctors and evaluate. Though in my experience the ones they send you to arent usually very good and seem too look for anything that might disprove your claim. And usually you get a letter after the phone interview to go to the doctor they appointed for evaluation then a while after that you get the decision there may be some other letters before that(not sure) and if you get denied it tells you how to appeal.
Aside from that it would be good to look into other resources or places that might assess for mental health conditions for an affordable cost...its good to try and get as much medical records as you can going to therapy can be used as medical evidence but not sure if they offer anything low cost around where you live.
