I have an extremely bad case of POTS and am having a harder time keeping up at work. I've seen a half dozen specialists and am getting as much benefit as I can from medications.

I'm thinking about going on STD/LTD. My plan gives me 66% of my salary. I work remotely and have an accommodation for 30 hrs/week.

At any time, I can inform my work I want to go back to working 40 hrs/wk. 66% of this salary would obviously be higher (1.33x) than 66% of my current salary.

Here is my question. If I make the change to 40 hrs and THEN apply for STD/LTD after working a couple weeks/months, would that raise red flags and threaten my claim? Thanks
