How hard is it to get disablity insurance???!!!

Hi all,

I recently bought a condo. Immediately after closing I was bombarded with
solicitations for disability insurance. I finally agreed to have an agent
come out to the house and go over the details. I subsequently signed the
papers. That was over a month ago.

After several subsequent phone calls over several weeks assuring me that
"we're almost finished" and "it's a done deal" , I was informed, today,
that I would not be insured. I was so disgusted.

I want to try again but with a little more savvy this time.

My question is, to those of you that have faced a similar circumstance,
do you think being a commercial pilot finally disqualified me or something
more sinister, like working for the FAA? I told them I am an ATCS that
just happens to have a commercial pilot's license--- but not current.

So, what's the straight-skinny for this group?

Thanks
