A:
Based on the information provided, it sounds like you need a lawyer who specializes in Social Security Disability claims to help you navigate the process of obtaining benefits for your child. Here are a few steps you can take:
1. Look for a Social Security Disability attorney: Search for attorneys in the Peoria area who have experience handling Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases, particularly those involving children.
2. Contact legal aid organizations: Reach out to legal aid societies in your area, as they may provide free or low-cost legal assistance for individuals with low incomes.
3. Ask for referrals: Consult with friends, family members, or local support groups who may have experience with Social Security Disability claims and can recommend an attorney.
4. Schedule a consultation: Many Social Security Disability attorneys offer free initial consultations. Use this opportunity to discuss your case and determine if the attorney is a good fit for your needs.
5. Gather relevant documents: Collect medical records, birth certificates, and any correspondence with the Social Security Administration to help your attorney understand your case better.
Remember that your child may be eligible for SSI benefits if they have a medical condition that results in marked and severe functional limitations, and if your family meets the income and resource requirements set by the Social Security Administration.
