Services You Can Get from Our Waukegan Disability Attorneys
Several types of disability benefits are available, for several types of people, run by Social Security.
People in Waukegan can get help from Nash Social Security Disability lawyers with all of these forms of benefits:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). This is for people with long and recent work records at jobs in which they paid into Social Security, but they had to stop working because of their health.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is for people with limited income and resources, who are unable to work because of their health, and who may not have the work history needed to qualify for SSDI.
- SSI for children. One form of SSI is for families of children with disabilities to help with the costs of their care. Your family must meet the financial requirements for SSI (limited income and resources) to qualify.
- Disabled adult child (DAC) benefits. Sometimes an adult had health problems from an early age (prior to age 22) which prevented them from working, so they never built up a significant work record. They can receive disability benefits because their parents worked and paid into Social Security.
- Widow or widower benefits. People whose spouses died and who have qualifying disabilities may sometimes receive Social Security Disability benefits because their deceased husband or wife worked and paid into Social Security.
If you’re in Waukegan or the surrounding areas and thinking about applying for disability benefits, you can talk it out with people at Nash Disability Law who do this for a living every day.

You Get Another Chance When You Talk to a Social Security Disability Judge
Your best chance of winning Social Security Disability benefits may be when you go to a hearing with a Social Security administrative law judge.
In Waukegan and the northern Chicago suburbs, your hearing will likely be with a judge based at a Social Security hearing office in Evanston.
Compared to the dismal initial application results when most people get denied, the rate of approvals by disability judges in Evanston was 58 percent at the end of 2024 and first part of 2025. No guarantees, but a much better chance.
In the whole Social Security Disability process, your hearing with a judge is your only chance to speak with a real person who will decide your claim. You can tell your story in a powerful way when you’re talking live.
The disability lawyers at Nash have extensive experience working with the judges at the Evanston hearing office. And we will get you well prepared for your hearing. This is yet another reason to work with us when you’re local to the area.
