I obtained a PPL when my ATPL expired last year, it did not come with an IMC rating. I also have a valid IR. I queried this at the time with CAA, as I will let my IR lapse on expiry next year, and would like the embedded IMC Rating from my ATPL.
They replied that I would have to take the IMC Rating flight test but would be exempted from the exams before the IMC R( IR(R in EASA) could be issued.
How stupid is that when I have a valid full IR! I E Mailed CAA licencing over two months ago to clarify the situation, as it is incorrect that the flight test is required. I am still waiting for a reply.
