What benefits do I have access to if I am disabled?

Living with a disability can sometimes be a challenge for many people. Depending on the severity of the condition, everyday tasks may be difficult or even impossible to perform without someone else's help. Oftentimes, this leads to life-long care, which may come with a hefty price tag. Thankfully, the United States government has programs in place that can help provide financial assistance to people with disabilities. While we have discussed these programs before, we realize that some of you may...

FCC rule will make 911 more accessible for the disabled

When there is an emergency, most people dial 911 without thinking. Oftentimes afterwards, they are glad that they did because this service sends responders to your location when you or someone else is in need of help. But what is being pointed out by a new federal rule is the fact that people with disabilities may also require the help of emergency responders or may want to call for help on someone else's behalf. With the current system though, this...

How society creates physical and verbal barriers for disabilities

If someone asked you to think of the term “disability,” what words would come to mind? If you’re like a lot of people across Illinois, you might define it as a physical or mental condition that limits a person’s ability to move, obstructs the senses and/or encumbers activities. As readers of our blog know though, this is not how the Social Security Administration defines disability. Instead, it is considered to be a condition that affects a person’s ability to work....

SSA offices close as the need for benefits increase

While many offices are being closed by the Social Security Administration the need for benefits continues to increase. Individuals are facing longer waits as a result when seeking information. The 64 field offices that were closed since 2010 is the largest number closed in the history of the agency. Hours have also been reduced in 1,245 other field offices as well. According to a congressional report, impact on local communities is seldom taken into account when these office closings occur....

Research may lead to figuring out what causes schizophrenia

There are currently 2.4 million adults suffering from schizophrenia in the United States and the cause is not entirely clear. However, research appears to be shedding light upon this illness. As a disabling brain disorder, schizophrenia makes it difficult for a victim of such a malady to perform everyday tasks. The condition often first appears between the ages of 16 and 30 and researchers believe it is hereditary in nature. While the disease affects approximately one percent of the population,...

Differences between SSI and SSDI

There is often confusion between the differences in Social Security disability insurance benefits and Supplemental Security Income. While both programs are administered by the Social Security Administration, SSI is need based and is for individuals with limited financial resources. SSI is available for individuals 65 or older and can be used to assist disabled children or adults of any age. However, SSI does not generate benefits necessarily to other members in the family. The maximum amounts received will be essentially...

Untreated mental illness costs everyone a significant price

There is a stigma concerning people individuals suffering from mental illness and consequently the problem is often ignored. Congressman Tim Murphy summed up the circumstances for the mentally ill in this manner: "We have replaced the hospital bed with the jail cell, the homeless shelter and the coffin." He wonders aloud how such circumstances could be considered compassionate. States have cut services that were aimed at assisting these individuals. From 2009 until 2012 mental health services have been cut $5...

SSI requirements when it pertains to payment for children

The relationship of parent to child is the determining factor when decisions are being made as to whether a child is eligible for a payment from the Social Security Administration. The child could be eligible for payments whether a marriage between the two parents is ongoing or has ended. If the child is disabled, however, determinations will have to be made concerning what individual is actually to receive the Social Security payments. This is generally determined by actual custody or...

Early Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and expedited claims

There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. This disease takes a tremendous toll upon the individual suffering from the condition and on the family of that person as well. Sadly, we are also seeing a large number of cases dealing with early onset of Alzheimer's. One woman's mother began showing signs of this condition when she was 62-years-old. The mother demonstrated signs of serious confusion, had left bills unpaid which resulted in the heat in the home being shut-off and...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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 ...
