Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Social Security disability lawyer in Wheeling do?
A lawyer helps you prepare and submit your disability application, gather medical evidence, and represent you at hearings before an administrative law judge. They also handle appeals if your claim is denied, which is common in Illinois.
How long do I have to appeal a denial in Illinois?
In Illinois, you generally have 60 days from the date you receive a denial notice to file an appeal. This time limit is strict, so it is important to contact a lawyer promptly to avoid missing the deadline.
Can I work part-time while my disability claim is pending in Illinois?
Yes, but your earnings must stay below the substantial gainful activity level, which is $1,550 per month in 2024 for non-blind individuals. Working too much could hurt your claim, so discuss your situation with a lawyer.
