Chicago SSD Attorney

Illinois SSI Lawyers

When you become disabled and are unable to work, social security disability benefits are of utmost importance to you and you cannot afford to wait to receive those benefits. Unfortunately, the amount of time it takes for the Social Security Administration to review a claim can take several months or even years. If the claim is denied and an appeals hearing is necessary, the time it takes to receive your social security benefits can be even longer. In fact, according to the Social Security Administration, the average processing time for a hearing decision is 442 days.

While the SSD and SSI case backlog is incredibly frustrating, there are proactive steps that you can take in order to help reduce the amount it takes to process your SSD or SSI claim.

Consult with an experienced SSD and SSI attorney.
