During the application process for disability benefits, the Social Security Administration has strict regulations that must be met, or your claim can be denied. Working with an experienced disability lawyer who can oversee the application process will ensure that all filing requirements are met and that your claim has a higher rate of approval.

SSDI attorneys handle a variety of cases pertaining to disability benefits and claim denials. In Illinois, a person who develops a disability caused by some type of illness or injury is entitled to file a claim for disability benefits through two federal programs, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Both programs provide assistance to people with disabilities, but they have different qualification requirements for approval.
