Social Security Disability cases are getting harder to win.
If you pay attention to the national statistics you will see that over the last 3 to 4 years the number of cases approved by Administrative Law Judges have dropped markedly.
And in Illinois the approval rates are some of the lowest in the nation.
This means that you must be careful and do whatever you can to help your case.
Hiring an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer makes a lot of sense.
Why go into the situation without someone who can tell you what to look for and how to best prepare your case?
You will have to go to a doctor on a regular basis.
It does not make sense to tell a judge that you are disabled and not go to the doctor for your problems.
Yes, you will have to spend some money for the visits, xrays, tests and medications but if you are truly hurting and can no longer work this will be the best way to spend your money.
Make sure that you tell the doctor how your condition bothers you and limits your activities.
Without this information in the records many Judges will ignore your testimony and complaints.
Ask if your doctor will be able to help out by writing a letter or filling out a form. This information can make a difference with some Judges.
Questions about your case? Ask before it is too late. Feel free to contact Illinois Social Security Disability Attorney Dirk May with Williams and Swee at 309-827-4371.
