>Menopausal police officer who asked to work from home because of way she smelt sued force for discrimination - after colleagues questioned severity of her symptoms
>Sarah Dye had requested to work remotely because of menopause-related ‘body odour’ and brain fog which made it difficult to work in the office in her role at Norfolk Constabulary.
>The officer told an employment tribunal that the odour 'did not prevent her from going out with her husband' - and claimed that her boss grilling her about the issue amounted to harassment.
>Mrs Dye said she experienced 'severe' symptoms of the menopause in 2022, including insomnia and brain fog.
>The tribunal found that her menopause symptoms were not a disability as she claimed, and that there was 'a complete absence of medical evidence that [she] suffered debilitating menopausal symptoms'.
>All of Mrs Dye's other claims were dismissed.
