Sorry, but your question is a little confusing. It is not uncommon for an ALJ to make a Fully Favorable decision on the record during a hearing.
When a case is remanded you return to an ALJ based upon the Appeal's Council finding an error with the previous ALJ's decision. This allows you obtain new evidence and have a second chance. The wait period for a new hearing depends on your area.
And please read Finz's response in this thread!!! If you need help understanding how the process works, check out a NOLO guide regarding SSDI from the library or purchase a copy.
The Appeal's Council can also give you a Fully Favorable decision, but that wouldn't be a remand.
If I missed a key component of your question, I apologize and I'll try again if you could rephrase your question.
