I believe my experience is worth sharing.
My disability review 2009.Oct was a disaster, health wise that is.
The building is shared with lawyer's office, and very close to quite a
few power lines, and the secretary used/uses a portable phone. The place
was very loud, and my headache climbed rather quickly.
Of course it helped (sarcastically) that I had to wait 30 minutes after
filling out some forms.
The reviewer had her phone on, even in standby it was checking in. So my
symptoms flared.

The review was focused on mental difficulties, memory specifically,
since That Is something the current medical establishment can point to
as real.

That is something to get from this, if you have aspergers or short term
memory loss, then you can convince them you have something wrong. If you
want to focus on the headaches and feelings of inflammation or throbbing
fire they can not find, then you will fail.

I asked her phone turn off, she complied. I noted when the secretary was
off the phone, and told her when the pain was spiking again. The longer
I was there, the worse my memory got. So I failed the tests, which was
good for my continuing disability.

Unfortunately, that incident, and one in November, when I was forced
into town for jury duty because I don't have a note from a doctor
(dismissed btw), have left me struggling to get back to a level of
relative wellness from before that mess.

The new WLAN or WiFi in the neighborhood isn't helping either, but
that's another story.

Good luck,.
