A British police officer poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok in 2018 is still “fighting for part of his pension,” seven weeks after he was medically retired, his wife said.

Nick Bailey was one of the officers poisoned while responding to the scene where former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia had been poisoned in Salisbury, England, on March 4, 2018.
