Regarding inferred claims and effective dates, I understand that if you seek medical treatment within 12 months of your claim request, then the EED is the date when treatment was sought.
Given this hypothetical situation, what would be the effective date?
The medication refills were requested every month and renewed via VA nurse line as needed.
Would the effective date be Jul 2009, Aug 2009, a VA telenurse refill call between Oct 2008 and Jul 2009, or by oldest date where refills were received?
I'm curious if the VA defines the inferred date based on an office visit, telenurse refill calls, or merely because the Vet was receiving medication for the condition (i.e. receiving treatment).

Inferred claims/effective dates
This might be a bit wierd...
Regarding inferred claims and effective dates, I understand that if you seek medical treatment within 12 months of your claim request, then the EED is the date when treatment was sought.
Given this hypothetical situation, what would be the effective date?
Jul 2007 - Office visit, condition diagnosed, prescribed monthly medication to treat condition
{insert 3-4 VA telenurse refill calls}
Aug 2009 - Office visit for condition
Oct 2009 - Filed claim for condition
The medication refills were requested every month and renewed via VA nurse line as needed.
Would the effective date be Jul 2009, Aug 2009, a VA telenurse refill call between Oct 2008 and Jul 2009, or by oldest date where refills were received?
