As put forward by the MoD Medals Office.
ARRSE has thread on this - it seems someone in the Medal Office is reading the rules in a very odd manner...
If I were a betting man, I'd say they would claim that allowing you to include the original medal earning period counted as double medalling and therefore to stop it, ACSM time only starts after the initial qualifying period. If that's the case, it's exactly the sort of thing I would change if God for the day and allowed to revamp our utterly inflexible, and on occasions, stubbornly mean spirited medals policy.
