A fully favorable ALJ decision is one which a claimant has been approved for social security disability or ssi disability benefits with an EOD, or established onset date, that is in accordance with the disability onset date alleged by the claimant on their application for ssd or ssi benefits (otherwise known as the AOD, or alleged onset date). The decision, by definition, is fully favorable to the claimant. A partially favorable ALJ decision is one in which a claimant has been approved for ssd or ssi benefits, but with an EOD, or established onset date, that is less favorable than the disability onset date originally alleged by the claimant on their disability application. There is an obvious difference between a fully favorable and a partially favorable decision on a disability claim. However, it happens quite frequently that an administrative law judge will decide to approve a claim with an onset date that is "less favorable" than the date that was alleged on the application and yet still call it a fully favorable decision. 
How does this happen? It happens in cases where a judge will convince a claimant to agree to "an amended onset"...in exchange for receiving a fully favorable decision. Basically, the claimant agrees to change their statement regarding when their disability began. Who benefits in situations where an onset date has been amended? The judge. Because by convincing the claimant to amend their onset date and then calling the decision "fully favorable", the likelihood of a return from the appeals council becomes scant and negligible.
