scoobysnack, if an IMCr application is received by the CAA before 17 Sep 2012, it will be included in a CAA-issued JAR-FCL PPL(A) in the normal manner.
If the application is received between 17 Sep 2012 and 8 Apr 2014, it will be issued as an Instrument Rating (Restricted) in the licence, which will also be converted to a part-FCL PPL(A).
Privileges, revalidation and renewal requirements for the IR(R) will be identical to those currently applicable to the IMCr.
