Social Security Disability Benefits Attorney in Cook County

Illinois Lawyer for Pending Social Security Disability Benefits Claims

Do you have a Social Security Disability Benefits Claim pending at the hearing level?

One of the most frequently asked questions by people waiting for a disability hearing in front of a judge is “How long will it take to have my court date and will I win?” While no one can answer that question definitively, it does to some degree depend on where you live and what hearing office has been assigned to your claim.

There are over 160 Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) locations throughout the United States. Some ODAR offices process claims in less than 9 months while other offices take closer to a year and a half. Fortunately, the Social Security Administration publishes the average number of days each office takes until final disposition of the hearing request. You do not need a Social Security disability lawyer to be able to access this information. Click here for the most up to date processing times.

Did I Get A Good Judge?

The Social Security Administration not only publishes the ODAR average processing times, but it also frequently releases data on the approval rates of every Administrative Law Judge. While the data should not be used by itself to determine whether your claim will get approved, it is nonetheless valuable information.
