Unfortunately, getting access to Social Security disability benefits can be difficult. According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), approximately 70 percent of initial Social Security disability applications are denied. If your Social Security disability claim was denied in Illinois, there are still legal options available. You have the right to request a reconsideration.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides much needed financial protection to people who are no longer able to work on a full-time basis due to a disability or medical condition. Unfortunately, recovering benefits through the program can be challenging. Each year, many people miss out on benefits because they make mistakes in the claims process. Here, our Chicagoland Social Security disability attorney highlights three of the most common SSDI mistakes you need to avoid.
In certain circumstances, an applicant’s age could play a role in determining whether or not they are eligible for Social Security disability benefits. As explained by the Social Security Administration (SSA), applicants are only eligible for disability benefits if they are unable to return to their previous job and they are also not likely to find suitable replacement employment.
