John Horn wins another disability case resulting in over 10 years of past due benefits awarded to claimant!

National Leaders in Social Security Disability Law

Attorney John E. Horn of the law firm of Horn & Kelley, PC, just won another social security disability case, this one at the court level of the Social Security Disability process.

After three district court remands (Roper v. Astrue, 2012 U.S Dist. LEXIS 118779, a sentence six remand; Roper v. Colvin, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 94953, a sentence four remand; and Roper v. Berryhill, 17-5242, an agreed sentence four remand on March 2, 2018; all N.D.Ill.) and four hearings (not counting supplementals), a new ALJ called a medical expert who testified that claimant equaled listing 1.04C from October 6, 2008 through August 31, 2010 (Decision at 9), and that afterwards he would miss more than one and a half days per month (Decision at 10, 17), which the vocational expert testified precluded work.  Claimant, still a younger individual, amended his alleged onset date from October 21, 2006 to October 6, 2008.  I have represented claimant since September 6, 2007.  The claimant was awarded TEN YEARS of past due benefits.

We Can Handle Joliet 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 Joliet disability claimants 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 Joliet Social Security Disability applicants by filing online.  Eighty-five percent of 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 Joliet Social Security Disability applicants online. Joliet Social Security 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, Joliet Social Security Disability applicants file their appeals in Falls Church, Virginia, by fax or mail.  The Appeals Council denies eight out of ten appeals.  Social Security used to allow sixty-five percent of all claims, but now it is allowing only forty percent.  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.  Joliet Social Security Disability applicants file suit against Social Security in the United States District Court in Chicago.  If Joliet disability applicants do not win in the District Court, they appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago.
