When the DDS prepares a Title II reconsideration partially favorable allowance after an initial denial, an SSA-L1157-U2DI (Social Security Notice of Disability) with a personalized explanation is prepared and released according to the instructions in DI 27025.010 – Personalized Explanation Requirements – General.

When a closed period or unfavorable onset date allowance is affirmed, the DDS prepares and releases a modified notice on preprinted form SSA-L928 with a personalized explanation. The DDS must delete the phrase “denying your claim” from the third sentence of the first paragraph. Include paragraph 842 (Title XVI disclaimer) on concurrent Title II/Title XVI claims when the SSA-L928 is not preprinted.

If a later onset date is established and the file indicates that the FO is developing earnings which could affect the DLI, contact the FO to verify DLI before releasing the notice. This eliminates erroneous partially favorable determinations when FO development establishes DLI prior to the onset established by the DDS.
