The Appeal's council has the authority to rule in your favor, so I think you're reading too much into this. By virtue of remanding, it will demand a new decision. Maybe approval, maybe denial. The ALJ must follow the Council's instructions regarding the issues presented to them, but this will not mean an automatic approval.
