The letter saying that my appeal was successful arrived in today's mail.
It says "Notice of Decision -- Fully Favorable" near the top of the first page.
They also sent an explanation of why the examiner made that decision, which I may or may not read.
Under "when will I get paid?" it says that goes through a different office, but it will probably 40-60 days from when they sent the letter, and who to contact if I don't hear within 60 days. I put a reminder in my google calendar, in case I need it. (Sixty days from Sept. 27, the date on the letter, is two days before Thanksgiving.)
Since someone asked on Discord: the lawyer who helped me with the appeals gets a standard percentage of the lump sum retroactive payment, plus defined "reasonable and customary" expenses.
Addendum: the finding is that I was disabled as of the claim date, Nov. 15, 2021, which I think means three years' worth of retroactive payments.
