Your arbitration hearing will result in a decision (arbitration award) issued by the arbitrator(s) within 30 days of the hearing. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both you and your attorney, unless either of you seeks a trial de novo within 30 days.
If you disagree with the judge's decision -- that is, you were denied benefits or you disagree with the disability onset date the judge gave you -- you can appeal to the Appeals Council.

You can request an appeal by writing to the SSA and requesting an Appeals Council review or by completing Form HAâ520 (Request for Review of Hearing Decision/Order).
