Some people misunderstand what your Congress person can do for your Social Security Disability case.
Social Security is a federal program, so your state representative or senator cannot help you.
You must contact your Congress person or one of your United States Senators.
All they are allowed to do by law is contact the Social Security Office and ask whether the case is eligible to be set for hearing faster than usual. They absolutely cannot influence the decision in the case. In other words, they cannot recommend you be granted benefits. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not telling you the truth.
Before you contact your Congress person be sure that you have all your medical records and evidence ready for trial. If you do not, this can damage your case.
If you need help finding contact information for your Congress person or United States Senator in Illinois, please feel free to call Attorney Dirk May at 309-827-4371.
