Social Security Disability Benefits in Palatine, IL

Having a job is a necessity to pay bills and your rent or mortgage to live an independent life.  However, if you are unable to work due to an illness or disability, making ends meet to live your life becomes nearly impossible.  If a documented disability or illness is preventing you from working 40 hours per week, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the Social Security Administration (SSA) through the Social Security Disability Program.  This financial assistance will allow you to pay your bills as you focus on improving your health.

First Time SSD Applicants

Let Our Disability Attorneys Help You Apply for SSD Benefits

Applying for Social Security Disability can seem like a daunting task, especially if you are applying for the first time.  This process is already complicated and dealing with an injury or illness while worrying about the financial security of you and your family can make the process very overwhelming.  You must submit all of the proper documentation along with your application without making any mistakes or you will likely get denied.  The Social Security Administration denies 65 percent of applications and 91 percent of the applications denied are submitted for reconsideration or first level appeal.

Making sure your SSD application is complete and accurate with the proper documentation is the best way to avoid denial in your first application.  If your application is denied, you will have to go through a long appeals process which will delay the benefits that you need to support yourself and your family.  Our attorneys understand why SSD applications are often denied and we will make sure that you provide the right information and documentation to give you a better chance of approval.  By hiring our social security disability lawyers before applying for SSD benefits, you can increase your chance of being approved and start receiving the benefits you need to support your family.

Our disability attorneys can help with the following:

• First time application: If you have never applied for SSD benefits before, our attorneys will help you complete your application and provide all of the necessary documentation to increase your chance of approval.
• Reconsideration: If your application is denied, our attorneys can help request reconsideration for your application. We will file your notice of intent to appeal and meet with the disability reconsideration review officer with you while they review your application.
• Hearing: If you have a hearing scheduled for your SSD benefits, our lawyers will attend these hearings and advocate on your behalf.
• Appeals: If your application is denied at the hearing, you can file an appeal to have your case heard by the Appeals Council. Our attorneys can help you present your case to the council of administrative appeals judges.
• Federal appeal: If the Appeals Council refuses to hear your case or denies your benefits, you will have to go through a complicated Federal appeals process. Our experienced attorneys can help you navigate this process and fight for your SSD benefits.
