Frequently Asked Questions

What does a social security disability lawyer in Tinley Park do?
A social security disability lawyer helps you file an initial claim or appeal a denial. They gather medical records, prepare you for hearings, and represent you before an administrative law judge. Illinois has no separate state disability program, so federal SSDI and SSI rules apply.
How long do I have to appeal a denial in Illinois?
You have 60 days from the date you receive a denial notice to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. This time limit is strict and applies to all Illinois residents. A lawyer can help ensure you meet this deadline.
What are the disability requirements for Illinois residents?
You must have a medical condition that prevents substantial gainful activity and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. Illinois follows the same medical criteria as the federal SSA. Your work history and age are also considered.
