As a result of our additional review, we are able to make a fully favorable medical decision and find that you meet the medical requirements for disability benefits. The onset of your disability is established as of June 01, 2003. Therefore, it is not necessary to have your case decided at the hearing level. We have not yet made a decision about whether you meet the non-medical requirements, but we will make that decision soon. You will soon get a notice about the amount of your payments if you meet the nonmedical requirements.
If you agree with our revised determination, you need take no further action and your hearing request will be dismissed. If you disagree with our revised determination, you may request that the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review proceed with your pending request for hearing. Your request should be made in writing and filed within 30 days from the mailing date of this notice. Your request may be filed with any Social Security office.

I am assuming you do not have a SS attorney. So far, this is approved, so ok, yes! But the second part, on wehtehr you meet non-medical requirements - I don't "get" that, so if that is negative and you were resting part of your case on it, or you're not 100% by this decision alone, then I would lodge my request in writing when and if you get a negative decision.
I am not a SS atty nor am I licensed anymore, so this is just off-the-cuff from a friend advice.
It is nice to get a retroactive check!!! Save it wisely - like those ING big interest, FICA insured savings accounts.
God bless you, I am very, very happy that you go the decision you deserve. (Sad that we deserve them, but happy we got 'em.)
Love to you -
