When do I get my first check?

My first two disability cases were denied. I went before a judge Sept 15 and was approved. My attorney said I should see a check sometime in November.
Novemember is here and according to my birthdate I should receivie my direct depositin two days.
However. I have yet to recieve the written decision from the judges office. My question. How long does it usually take for the descision to be written?
