The appeals council one directive is the treating physcians rule, you don't need a hearing to conclude that matter, unless it's more personal than business.
It is SS policy that an OTR decision must be Fully Favorable. The process simply does not work the way you want it to.

If the AC ruling doesn't include the language "de novo", than your hearing might be quite brief and limited to the issue the AC has found that needs to be addressed. While this might be your preference, it will limit your attorney's ability to prove that you qualify for SSDI.
