How does Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) differ from private disability insurance?

20

I have private long-term disability coverage through work, but I know Social Security also has disability benefits. How do they interact? If I become disabled, can I collect both? Does private disability insurance offset against SSDI payments? What are the eligibility requirements for SSDI — how severe does the disability need to be? How long does the SSDI application take?
