National Leaders in Social Security Disability Law

Social Security Disability Lawyer John E. Horn of the law firm of Horn & Kelley, P.C., just won another social security disability case, this one at the hearing level, step three of the Social Security Disability process.  Our client was a fifty-nine year old Calumet City social security disability applicant who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis, limited use of her right (dom) hand, and cannot walk without use of a cane or wheel chair, difficulty speaking, and memory issues. We have represented many other Calumet City social security disability claimants successfully.

We Can Handle Calumet City Social Security Disability Claims at All Levels

Do not make the same mistake so many others have, call us before you file. We can handle your claim from the very beginning.  We apply for Calumet City social security disability claimants by filing online.  Applications for social security disability benefits have a seventy percent chance of being denied.  Then it is necessary to file an appeal called reconsideration.  We request reconsideration for Calumet City social security disability applicants by filing their appeals online.  Most claims are denied at reconsideration.  Then it is necessary to file another appeal requesting a hearing by an administrative law judge.  We request hearings for Calumet City social security disability applicants by filing online.  Many claims are won at the hearing level, but if you do not win, an appeal must be filed with the Appeals Council.  Like everyone else who appeals to the Appeals Council, Calumet City social security disability applicants file their appeals in Falls Church, Virginia.  The Appeals Council denies eight out of ten appeals.  Social Security used to allow sixty-five percent of claims overall, but now it is allowing only forty percent of claims.  We aim to win every claim without a hearing, but Social Security is just a big insurance company, and like any other insurance company, it only wants to take in premiums and not pay benefits.  That means you need a Social Security Disability Lawyer who will if necessary take your case to the United States District Court, the United States Court of Appeals, or even the United States Supreme Court.  Calumet City social security disability applicants file suit against Social Security in the United States District Court in Chicago.  If Calumet City disability applicants do not win in the District Court, they appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, maybe even to the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.

Free Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win

Veterans’ disability benefits provide a safety net for former members of the United States Armed Forces who have service-related injuries or illnesses. Sometimes, the disability or illness may be so severe that the veteran requires additional financial assistance.

Many veterans opt to apply for Social Security Disability benefits as an extra source of supplemental income. However, based on your circumstances, you may or may not be able to qualify for both government programs simultaneously.

Read on to learn more about the interplay between veterans’ benefits and Social Security Disability.

No one likes to imagine being in a situation in which they cannot work. Unfortunately, however, this situation does become a reality for many people.

Some people may be diagnosed with a serious illness that keeps them from working. Others might get injured. Whatever the case may be, when this happens, the best option is often to file for Social Security Disability benefits.

While you may feel it’s obvious that you deserve these benefits, the Social Security Administration might not see it that way. For this reason, it is important to understand why Social Security Disability claims get denied. Hopefully, you can prevent your own claim from getting denied or at least know what to do if it is denied.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a cluster of genetic disorders related to hypermobility. Depending on the type of Ehlers-Danlos you have and the severity of your symptoms, it can be quite disabling — especially as you age.

How do you present your symptoms and medical information in a way that Social Security claims examiners will understand it? That’s a critical question because Ehlers-Danlos isn’t something that they’re particularly familiar with since it’s a relatively rare disorder. Here are tips that can help.

Remember That a Diagnosis Doesn’t Equal a Disability

You can’t get Social Security Disability just because you have a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Because Ehlers-Danlos has a wide variety of symptoms, you have to explain exactly how the disorder affects your life and limits you from working.

Use Examples to Demonstrate Your Limitations

Specific examples of your limitations are best when it comes to illustrating the effects of Ehlers-Danlos on your daily life.

Tell the claims examiner, for example, how your joint pain flared up after an hour on the line at your factory job and made it impossible for you to keep pace with the other workers. Talk about how the smallest scrapes or cuts on your cleaning job turned into major infections that left you laid up for weeks.

The more clarifying details and work complications you provide to illustrate your disability from the disorder, the easier it will be to gain an approval for benefits.
