INCOMPLETE APPLICATION SUBMITTED - EFFECTIVE DATE OF PENSION

[TOMBAY]

I submitted through the county Veteran Services Officer an A & A application before the end of August, however, since the doctor was on vacation it went to the Regional office with the medical form being included.  Once the doctor returned by mid-September, the medical form has been signed and submitted.  Assuming all the information was accurate, complete, acceptable, etc. and the application is approved, would the effective date be September 1 when MOST of the application was filed or October 1 when ALL the information reached the VA?  Will appreciate learning of any similar experiences.  Thanks.  Tom Bay, OH

Sept 1 should be the date.
