Compensation payout ex-policeman Glen Robinson seeking a third stint in force Former policeman Glen Robinson / Pic: Toby Zerna Source: The Daily Telegraph A NSW police officer who wants his old job back was paid more than $545,000 when he was medically discharged less than two years ago. Details have also emerged that former sergeant Glen Robinson had left the force before, after serving for eight years in the 1990s. This time around Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione is refusing to reinstate him and the matter is now before the Industrial Relations Commission. Mr Robinson is claiming he has recovered sufficiently from his post-traumatic stress disorder - for which he was paid $545,067.61 - and is fit to work. Records show from February 8, 2009, Mr Robinson was off sick for more than two months with a psychological condition before returning to work on full duties, later reduced to restricted duties. On June 22, 2010 he also submitted a worker's compensation claim for lower back injury from wearing his appointments belt. A further report by Dr Jeff Bertucan in January 2011 said Mr Robinson had low grade chronic PTSD. Further medical reports said he complained of moodiness, loss of sleep and loss of libido. In his submission for re-employment, Mr Robinson presented a medical certificate from a GP stating he was again fit for work. If he wins his case - more hearings are scheduled this week - it could open the floodgates for more than 800 officers who received payouts to re-apply for their old jobs.
