*Testis â Did you know that testis, testify, testimonial and testament all share a common root meaning? Testis means âwitnessâ in Latin. As the testis witnesses to manhood, you may witness to the truth at trial, proclaim your favorite brand of corn flakes or witness to your final wishes in your will. If you die without a will, you die âintestate,â without having witnessed. Next.
If you are not approved for disability benefits at the level of an initial claim, you must file a reconsideration of your initial disability denial. Reconsideration appeals take on average sixty to ninety days to receive a disability decision, though, typically they take less than 60 days.
However, if you do not receive your disability approval until the disability hearing level, you will first receive a letter from the hearing office stating you have been approved. This letter is a Notice of Decision. However, your actual award letter or Notice of Award, that spells out how much money you will receive--and when--may take another six weeks or so to arrive. Why does the social security disability award letter take so long to arrive when a disability case is at the hearing level?
