Illinois Disability Claimant Wins Benefits after a Hearing

National Leaders in Social Security Disability Law

Attorney John E. Horn of the law firm of Horn & Kelley, PC, Attorneys at Law, just won a hearing for a Illinois disability claimant.  Social Security decided that our client’s combination of COPD, cervical and lumbar degenerative disc disease, shoulder arthritis and rotator cuff tears, and lung cancer equaled listing 13.14A from May, 2013 to January, 2015, and met listing 13.14A thereafter.       .

 We Can Represent Illinois Disability Applicants at All Levels

We can handle your claim from the very beginning.  We apply for Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Illinois disability applicants by filing online.  Illinois disability claims are heard in hearing offices throughout Illinois.  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, Illinois 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.  Illinois disability applicants file suit against Social Security in the one of the United States District Courts for Illinois.  If Illinois disability applicants do not win in the District Court, they appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago.
