I don't think this is correct. From the exemption on the TC website:
The best way, well, at this point really the only way to get any sort of conclusive answer is; when you submit your attestation ask for a confirmation that TC received it - but also ask them to confirm your medical expiration date.
In my case, TC Pacific Region called me to tell me I was only get a six month renewal - turns out they assumed I was 40+ and would need to make a second attestation to get a year extension. Once that misunderstand was cleared up (only took an email and another phone call), I did get the year extension via attestation - but with a "catch" of sorts. I assumed the validity period would run from the month I submitted the attestation (June) until the first day of the 13th month (July 1, 2021). Nope, that's not how it works - according to TC Pacific Region.
Apparently, how the attestation works, is basically they assume you're submitting/renewing your medical in the same month in which you had your last CAME visit (in my case that would be April 2019, and thus my "renewal" is from April 2020), and not renewing it now (as in June 2020). So, my previous Cat. 1 medical had a "normal" expiration date of May 1, 2020 - and thus my attestation medical will lapse May 1, 2021...
Clear as mud; so get some sort of confirmation from TC - because it'll be on you if there's a mixup.
