Each year, serious injury or illness forces thousands of Illinois residents to leave their jobs. If this has happened to you, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. People with rheumatoid arthritis to fibromyalgia to diabetes and many other conditions have qualified for benefits, provided their condition prevents them from maintaining gainful employment. When you are out of work due to a disabling illness, these benefits may be the only thing standing between you and financial ruin.

However, it can be frustrating and time consuming to apply for benefits on your own. A lawyer who specializes in Social Security law would be able to simplify the application and appeal process for you. The Social Security Administration's own statistics show that those applicants who hire legal counsel are more likely to win their cases.

To prove to a Social Security judge that you suffer from a persistent physical or mental disability that prevents you from working, you need thorough medical records documenting your condition. A skilled social security lawyer will examine your medical history and will present your case to a judge in a compelling way. We understand that it can be difficult to access affordable medical care when you are out of work due to illness. As a service to you we have drawn up a list of free and low-cost clinics in the Champaign area.
