CAA Medical Question

This seems a tad unfair but I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience and if it's worth complaining.

There was a problem with the ECG at my last Class 2 renewal in April (the AME couldn't get the pads to stick and took a reading whilst holding them down). Anyway he made me temporarily unfit and the CAA asked me to undergo a number of other investigations. Those have now been exhausted and a medical issued. But the medical has been back-dated to the date I was made temporarily unfit, rather than the date investigations were completed and a medical issued. So I miss on on 1/6th of the validity period!

Is this right? The CAA attitude is that's a JAR requirement so tough!
