Appeals council remand

I was denied at the first level and then after a hearing, I appealed my hearing and won the appeal, it is sent back down for another hearing. Has anyone won that has been in my situation? It has been almost four years and no telling how long it will take to get another hearing. I don't know how much more we can take. I do have a lawyer. My wife makes 15 dollars an hour and that is to much money for a family of 3 to get state help. We have lived off credit cards for along time and can't pay on them anymore, can't pay my electric bill, and the list goes on and on. I worked 20 years in the construction buisness and paid in to ss just like everyone else, but when you need it most they do everything in their power to keep you from getting it.

It's amazing when we need the money WE put in it's no! But when greedy politicians borrow()from SS and never return the funds it's no problem. The only reason SS is suposedly short is the money that was borrowed and never returned...
