Getting Social Security Disability in Elgin
The Social Security Disability process has thousands of rules and multiple steps:
- Determining if you qualify. You must be unable to work—at any job in any significant amount—because of health problems.
- Applying for disability. To file for disability benefits, you’ll fill out pages of forms, collect medical evidence from your doctors, explain your past job duties and more.
- Appealing a denial. Almost everyone gets denied at first (nationally it’s about 80 percent), so you’ll likely need to start an appeal. This is much more like making a legal case.
If you look at how local Social Security hearing offices work, you can see why you want a local, Elgin Social Security Disability lawyer.
By the first half of 2025, the disability judges in Oak Brook were approving benefits 55 percent of the time. In Orland Park, it was 47 percent. In Chicago, it was 57%. In Evanston, it was 58%.
When you appeal a denial, go to a hearing with a Social Security administrative law judge, and explain one-on-one how your health impairments hinder your ability to work, your chances of winning disability benefits go up.
You can feel much more confident knowing you have a local, Elgin disability attorney from Nash by your side.
