Frequently Asked Questions

You have 60 days from the date of the denial letter to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. This deadline applies to all Illinois residents, including those in Fairview Heights. Missing this deadline can mean starting the application process over.
What disability conditions qualify for benefits in Illinois?
Social Security lists many impairments including back injuries, mental health disorders, heart disease, and cancer. Illinois does not have a separate list, so the federal Blue Book criteria apply. Your lawyer can help show how your condition meets or equals a listing.
