Thanks!

After appealing the initial denial, my file at SS was just sitting there waiting for a Judge to be assigned so I could be given a hearing date. After almost 2 years of waiting for a hearing date, I then contacted my US Senator. He called SS and requested to see my file. The next day I had a hearing date. Whether it was a coincidence or the phone call that got me a hearing date I will never know.
