Getting Social Security Disability Benefits in Arlington Heights
When you live in Arlington Heights and get injured or sick, you should be able to focus on your health—not money problems.
But bills don’t stop piling up just because you cannot work, and many people end up struggling to support themselves and their families once a medical impairment prevents them from making money.
Social Security Disability for health conditions that stop you from working could be a solution for you. These benefits exist to help people in situations like yours reclaim a sense of stability and independence in life.
It’s tough, though, because many who apply for benefits do not get approved. You should have an Arlington Heights disability lawyer on your side.

What Can Nash’s Arlington Heights Disability Attorneys Do for You?

- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): These benefits are for people with limited work history who cannot work because of their health.
- SSI for Children: These benefits are for children with disabilities and their families.
- Disabled Adult Child Benefits: Adults who had health problems from an early age and never built up a significant work history can qualify for DAC benefits when their parents have an eligible Social Security record.

Why Hire a Local Lawyer in Arlington Heights
Every Social Security Disability case is different. You must explain the ways your particular symptoms interfere with the tasks you do at work.
People in Arlington Heights work in industries like health care, warehousing and shipping, aviation, manufacturing, retail, hospitality and many more.
The disability lawyers at Nash know the demands of these jobs and how to show the ways that health issues interfere with them.
We do everything we can to help you make the most convincing claim.
Our Arlington Heights disability attorneys:
- Review your case with you and give you individual attention

Even when you do your best to prepare, your claim can be denied. We know the uphill climb it can take to get benefits you need in Chicagoland.
A wide majority of people get denied benefits nationally. But when you go to a hearing with a Chicago area disability judge—and especially with an experienced disability attorney—your odds could be better:
- In 2025, administrative law judges in the Chicago hearing office were approving benefits 57 percent of the time.
- The judges in the Evanston office approved benefits 56 percent of the time.
- The judges in the Oak Brook office approved benefits 57 percent of the time.
- The Illinois state approval rate was 45 percent.
- Nationwide, it was 49 percent at the hearing level.
National or out-of-state disability benefits companies don’t know the local landscape, and they might not take the time to get to know you. Nash treats you like a neighbor, not a number.
We’ve been in the Chicago area for a long time.
We know the local doctors and hospitals who would provide medical evidence for your claim.
We know the local administrative law judges and Social Security field offices.
You deal with enough cold during an Illinois winter, you don’t need a frosty reception from your disability lawyer, too.
