Oh no that's terrible. Did they sack him or retire him off on ill health ? i have to say they have been pretty poor up to yet, he has told them how bad his memory is yet they havent moved him off front line duties, they are happy to sit back and wait and see.... its dangerous to both him and the public. they dont care about him they just need him to make up the numbers.i am going with him to occupational health in a few weeks and will tell them exactly how he is doing. and if they insist on keeping him front line after that i will lodge a complaint.
his spelling is getting bad, he cant remember things now all the time, and he gets so tired. and just lately he is becoming aggressive, not violent, but nasty in his tone as he is clearly becoming frustrated with things. i just wish things could hurry along.
Hi Nick
What an awful situation
I think you are right though to go with him to OH, and to get the best for him, which would include being taken off the front line. I can hardly believe they are behaving so irresponsibly! Depending n the terms of the police pension scheme, I would have thought he'd be retired on ill health grounds, rather than sacked - what happened to chick's husband sounds dreadful to me. He should then get at least some of his pension - after all, he's paid in - and it might even be enhanced.
You need to get a copy of the pension scheme regulations if possible.....I'm just saying what seems right, not what the rule is.
Take care and good luck

Hello again, they don't like to retire on ill health at all it was an awful time for us and john n I both cried at the disciplinary he had to attend due to his sickness John was 60 so at retiring age so they said so they sacked him instead! We could have gone to tribunal but the stress and worry and johns memory lapses would have made it impossible. Our GP and consultant were disgusted with johns treatment by the met. John does not get aggressive more grumpy but it's v frustrating and frightening for them when they struggle with every day tasks and my john gets more angry with himself and beats himself up bless him. I try and be loving and calm when he is in grumpy mood but he is doing ok so far and medication helps to slow it down, unfortunately it is progressive though

I would make an appointment with their pension department and also tell oh that they have to take him off front line duties until you have heard from the consultant. They have a duty of care for employees and until they know what the problem is have to find suitable alternative that's the law. I would get police union involved they helped us a lot

ok, i am getting so frustrated with the police now, nick has emailed them saying he is getting worse and his memory is becoming worse, he has also said he is getting more frustrated of late too and told them the specialist now highly suspects dementia and told them about his very low addenbrookes scores, ( posted further up the thread) and they have simply told him that as they have no force doctor in for over a month then they are not going to review him, and keep everything the same for now, Ie he has to go out with a collegue and doesnt work past 3am.therefor he is to stay front line. he is coming home worrying about what he may have forgot during the day. whycan they not see any sense !!!!
He now has an appointment at the "psychological services, Neuropsychology, Physical Health and older Adult Psychological team" should i tell them how he is being treated at work ? does anyone know what to expect ?
its been too much for him i have registered him sick this week just to give him a break from it.
