The atypical lifecourse timing of<unk><unk>  Alzheimer's means that it presents distinctive impacts upon experience. For example, the disease can have devastating effects on the carers, caretakers and family members of patients. Those who are working lose their ability to perform their jobs competently, and are forced into<unk>  retirement. When this can be predicted, employees must discuss their future with their employers and the loss of skills they expect to face. Those who are forced to retire<unk>  may not have access to the full range of benefits available to those who retire at the minimum age set by the government. With some jobs, a mistake may have devastating consequences on a large number of people, and cases have been reported in which a person with<unk><unk>  Alzheimer's who is unaware of their condition has caused distress. Younger people with Alzheimer's may also lose their ability to take care of their own needs, such as money management. It has been suggested that conceptualizations of Alzheimer's and ageing should resist the notion that there are two distinct conditions. A binary model, which focuses in particular on the needs of younger people, could lead to the challenges experienced by older people being understated.
