Filing For Social Security Disability Benefits:

Cutting the Red Tape

Do you need assistance in filing your claim for Social Security Disability benefits, but have been told by other attorneys that they will not assist you until your claim has been denied? Are you afraid you will be turned away because you do not have the money to pay attorneys' fees? Our lawyers represent Claimants at all levels of the process - from initial application to Federal Court review.

We are familiar with the process and have the necessary skills to successfully advocate on your behalf. If you have hesitated to obtain legal counsel to assist you in the process of filing your Social Security Disability claim because you can't afford the fees, then hesitate no longer!

In Social Security Disability cases, attorneys' fees are regulated by federal statute and are paid when you get paid. We work on a contingency fee basis-that means no money up front, and no hourly fees. The Social Security Administration must approve our fees and we file our fee agreement with SSA in every case.

How to file for Social Security Disability?

There are a number of ways to start a Social Security Disability claim. You can contact our law firm for a free brochure describing the application process. If your claim is only for SSDI you can file on the Social Security Administration's web site at www.ssa.gov. If your claim is for both SSDI and SSI, or for SSI only, you must either go to your local Social Security District Office, or call SSA at 1-800-772-1213.

Our lawyers prefer to be retained as soon as you have filed your application. Statistics show that people with quality representation have a greater chance of having their application approved. Our experience shows that the earlier in the process we get involved, the stronger the claim.

If you have questions about Social Security Disability application we can assist you. At the law firm of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, Ltd. , located in Des Plaines, Illinois and serving SSDI and SSI claimants in Chicago, Illinois and nationally, we understand that in addition to a knowledgeable and experienced attorney, clients deserve a comfortable and respectful environment in which to discuss their concerns. That is why we always strive to provide an effective, compassionate and aggressive representation for our clients.

We urge you to contact us now because the backlogs are lengthy at all levels of the application and review process. The severity of the backlog varies nationwide. While the Social Security Administration is working on this problem it can easily take as long as 18 months to go from initial application to an Administrative Law Judge hearing. Time is of the essence if you are to receive benefits. Contact us today!
