After all this time, I know you're excited, but you still have to wait a bit. Good thing is that once the process starts moving, it goes pretty quickly usually. And you'll sometimes find that you'll have a direct deposit amount into your bank account before you even get the notice from SSA that they are paying you!

Hang in there.

Fully favorable means that they decided. Who cares why!!!
