Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to appeal a Social Security denial in Illinois?
You have 60 days from the date you receive the denial notice to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. This time limit is strict, so you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after a denial.
What is the typical success rate for disability claims in DeKalb County?
Success rates vary by individual case and hearing office. In Illinois, approximately 40 to 50 percent of initial claims are approved, but with legal representation, the approval rate at the hearing level can be higher. An attorney can help present medical evidence effectively.
Do I need to see a specific doctor for my disability claim in Illinois?
You do not need to see a specific doctor, but your medical records must come from acceptable medical sources. Illinois law does not require a particular physician. Your lawyer can help ensure your records clearly document your impairments.
