We got a first hand look at how difficult they could make things. The Police Association hired a solicitor to make sure my husband got all his entitlements and was retired HOD. This solicitor also suggested a court challenge would be in order so we went with him. Sixteen psychiatrists and clinical psychologists later we got a settlement we could live with.
Because I too worked for the NSW government I had a work diary and was in the habit of documenting my life. Several of my husband's senior officers came to regret my habit of diarising all my interactions with authority. My notes were all made contemporaneously. Some were even witnessed, signed and dated by my boss. The pen really is mightier than the sword when wielded correctly.
