This led to a lot of confusion and the employee was at risk of losing their job because they didn't meet the written requirements that they were never properly informed about.

Sure. In some cases, the VA appraiser requests additional paperwork at the last minute. For instance, a veteran was trying to close on a home.

This lack of communication made her extremely worried for days until she got a second opinion from another doctor who explained everything in detail.
