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 application, step one of the Social Security Disability process.  His client was a fifty year old Oak Park disability applicant who suffered from an arthritic left knee, diabetes, numb hands and feet, obesity, low back pain, sciatica, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, and depression. We have represented many other Oak Park disability claimants successfully.     .

We can handle your claim from the very beginning.  We apply for Oak Park disability claimants by filing online at the local Social Security Office.  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 Oak Park disability applicants by filing their appeals online with the local Social Security Office.  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 Oak Park disability applicants by filing online with the local Social Security Office.  Oak Park disability claims are heard in the Oak Brook hearing office.  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, Oak Park 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.  Oak Park disability applicants file suit against Social Security in the United States District Court in Chicago.  If Oak Park 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.

No Fee Unless We Win

If you or someone you love suffers from a mental disorder, you know it can interfere with everything from day-to-day activities to holding down a steady job. Social Security benefits can ease the burden of mental illness.

Unfortunately, as many as six out of ten applicants are denied Social Security benefits. Fortunately, proper legal representation raises this figure considerably.

If you live in Indiana or Illinois, a Social Security disability attorney can take you step-by-step through the application and appeals processes. Even if you have been rejected previously, a qualified attorney can help you receive needed social security benefits.

What Does an Illinois/Indiana Social Security Disability Attorney Do?

A social security disability attorney compiles the necessary medical evidence to show eligibility for social security benefits. This is presented in a hearing. Your attorney will maintain confidentiality.

What Are the Requirements for Disability Benefits?

Mental disorder qualifications are federally mandated. This means they are the same in all 50 states. The following disorders may be eligible for benefits:

• Organic disorders (Alzheimer’s, dementia, delirium)
• Schizophrenia, paranoia, and psychotic disorders
• Affective/mood disorders (bipolar disorder, depression)
• Intellectual disability
• Anxiety-related disorders (PTSD, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and panic disorders)
• Somatoform disorder (hypochondriasis, pain disorder)
• Personality disorder (antisocial, multiple personality, and borderline personality disorders)
• Autism spectrum disorders (Asperger’s, autism)

What Medical Evidence Is Necessary For Social Security Disability?

A Social Security disability attorney will help collect medical evidence including reports from licensed physicians and psychologists, medical history, clinical and laboratory findings, diagnoses, and other medical reports.

The medical evidence must prove the mental illness impairs basic work-related activities and social functioning, limits earnings to below $1070 a month, or prohibits a competitive pace in a work environment.
