The Disability Determination Services (DDS) provides a personalized disability notice (PDN) to the claimant in the event of a medical denial or when the DDS establishes the onset of disability later than the date of the Title XVI application.

When the DDS makes a fully favorable determination, the field office (FO) processing the claim sends out the initial award notice automatically through the Modernized Supplemental Security Income Claims System (MSSICS) for most cases.

When MSSICS cannot generate a notice or when the automated notice may not provide complete information, the FO must prepare a manual notice.
