When You Can’t Work in Cicero, Social Security Disability Should Be There for You
If you live in Cicero, you know what it means to put in a hard day’s work. But when illness makes working hard or impossible—you need financial relief to bring stability back to your life.
Just like people across the Chicago area and the country, Cicero residents can get help from Social Security Disability benefits when they can no longer do their jobs. Securing those benefits, however, is no easy task.
Social Security is a big, complicated system. Even a small mistake can lead to a denied claim. In fact, Social Security turns down about 80 percent of new claims.
Still, there is hope. Whether you are thinking about applying for Social Security Disability, or you’re wondering how to appeal a denied claim, a skilled Cicero disability lawyer can help you win benefits you need to get your life back on track.

Benefits You Can Win with Help from a Cicero Disability Attorney
For Cicero residents whose health problems upend their jobs—or never let them work much in the first place—Social Security provides two types of assistance you could potentially access.
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides monthly checks to people who have recently worked and paid Social Security taxes. Your earnings over the years help decide how much in benefits you can receive when you can no longer work. Know this: SSDI is not a handout. You earned these benefits by working. You deserve to get them when you need them.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is there for people with few economic resources and little to no income. You don’t need a work history to qualify for SSI, but you do need to prove disability and prove that your household finances meet the program’s strict requirements.
The Cicero disability lawyers at Nash Disability can help you understand which program is best for you.
They can also help you gain benefits for children with disabilities, adult children who haven’t been able to work much and have parents who receive Social Security disability or retirement checks, and widows or widowers of people who qualified for Social Security.
Whether applying, appealing a denial, or simply wondering where to turn when dealing with Social Security, Nash Disability Law is here for you in Cicero.
We’ll evaluate your case in a free consultation. It costs you nothing to give us a call.
When Dealing with Social Security Disability in Cicero, Why You Want a Local Lawyer
Social Security is available to every American who qualifies, so you may be tempted to get help from a national group that advertises for disability benefits assistance.
But those firms don’t know Cicero, don’t know the communities and people of the Chicago area, and don’t live and work here themselves.
Having a disability lawyer experienced in the local Social Security system—and who cares about local people—can make a big difference for you.
A key reason is that a Cicero disability attorney will know the administrators and disability judges who will process and hear your claim. They know the hospitals, the doctors, and the social service providers who can provide detailed documentation to help build your case.
While an overwhelming majority of people are denied for disability benefits when they first apply, when people go before disability judges in the Chicago area to appeal denials, their chances go up.
The Cicero disability attorneys at Nash get to know you, understand your situation, and are there every step of the way.
At Nash Disability, you’re a neighbor, not a number.
