So, this is a new ALJ?
Do you have any documentation that your function has not decreased since your initial application? That will likely be the sticking point, you may now qualify based on the CE exam, but are you entitled to benefits going back to your original Alleged Onset Date?
If you're willing to take less backpay, you might be able to have your attorney negotiate an On the Record decision... Of course there is also the possibility the ALJ will give you a Fully Favorable On the Record decision, but you should have the dates worked out ahead of time if you're willing to "settle" (it's inappropriate terminology in this context but nonetheless, that is what it is).
