What Are Social Security Benefits for Disability?

Social Security benefits for disability are monthly payments provided by the Social Security Administration to individuals who are unable to work because of a qualifying medical condition. These benefits are intended to help replace lost income and provide access to medical coverage.

There are two main programs that provide disabled Social Security benefits:

Social Security Disability Insurance, also known as SSDI
Supplemental Security Income, also known as SSI

Both programs require proof of a disabling condition, but eligibility rules differ depending on work history and financial resources. Our attorneys help determine which program applies to your situation and make sure your claim is filed correctly.

How Disability and Social Security Benefits Are Determined

The Social Security Administration uses a strict definition of disability. To qualify, your condition must prevent you from performing substantial work and be expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. The SSA reviews medical records, treatment history, work history, and how your condition affects daily functioning.

Many claims are denied because the SSA believes the applicant can still work in some capacity. This often happens when medical evidence is incomplete or does not clearly explain how symptoms limit the ability to work. Our attorneys work closely with clients and their medical providers to present a complete and accurate picture of their limitations.

If you have questions about qualifying for Social Security Disability benefits, call (847) 299-0008 to speak with an experienced attorney.

Common Conditions That May Qualify for Disability Benefits

Social Security Disability benefits are available for a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. These include chronic pain, spinal disorders, neurological conditions, autoimmune diseases, heart and lung conditions, and serious mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

What matters most is not just the diagnosis, but how the condition limits your ability to work consistently. Our attorneys focus on demonstrating how symptoms affect concentration, attendance, physical stamina, and the ability to perform job duties.

Why So Many Disability Claims Are Denied

Many people assume that qualifying for disability benefits is straightforward. In reality, the majority of initial applications are denied. Common reasons include missing medical records, unclear descriptions of limitations, and failure to meet strict technical requirements.

Appeals are often successful, especially when handled properly. Having an experienced attorney on your side can significantly improve your chances of approval and reduce unnecessary delays.

Why Our Clients Trust Us

I want to thank the Rabin legal team for their outstanding support since 2022 in helping Lindsay successfully getting through the SSI application, appeal(s), and finally approval process.

Everyone on your team has been extremely helpful, patient, professional, and diligent in working through this long and arduos process. The fact that Lindsay's file had approximately 3000 pages clearly shows the amount of time, work, and thoroughness the Rabin team has done for Lindsay. My wife, Lindsay and I cannot thank each of you enough for the support you have provided through this process. The SSI decision is a key step in Lindsay's continued progress in working through her disability. The positive outcome of yesterday's hearing clearly shows how your team's collective efforts over several years provided the information needed to have SSI approve the appeal. Thanks again to each and every one of you for your support.

My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

David Janis

Thank you so much for all you and the staff have done for me.

It meant a lot to me every time I called and whoever I talked to knew all about my case. It was wonderful that I didn’t get pushed from one person to another. Your staff was always happy; they acted like they personally know me. But most of all I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW FAST YOU HAD MY CASE DONE. You and your staff really put a smile on my face. Thank you for doing what I couldn’t get done. Everyone will know Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associate

Eric Morris

This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

Steven Sidbeck

I filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

Danielle Sanders

I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
