Question
When the seventh day of mourning falls on Rosh Chodesh, should the mourner recite Hallel after getting up from Shiva?
Answer
He recites Hallel after the conclusion of his mourning, when the comforters stand with him after the morning prayer.

It is written in the Pitchei Teshuva, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 376, Se'if Katan 2: "In the writings of the great Rabbi, Rabbi Daniel, of blessed memory, it is written that if the seventh day of mourning occurs on Rosh Chodesh, he should recite Hallel after leaving the synagogue, as he is no longer in mourning." However, in the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 227, Paragraph 6, it seems this leniency is applied only on Chanukah, not on Rosh Chodesh. And here are his words: "If the seventh day falls on Chanukah, then after the comforters leave, when mourning ends, the mourner also says Hallel because it is an obligation, and there is an opinion that on Chanukah, Hallel is recited even in the mourner's house in a congregation."
