Disability Statistics

According to the IL Department of Human Resources--Office of Rehabilitation Services, at least 90,000 persons under age 65 with disabling diseases live in DuPage County. This is consistent with DuPage County statistics that approximately 10% of any non-elderly population is disabled. This group is chronically under-employed and many need SSDI benefits or Public Aid assistance to make ends meet.
