Hi Nancy
does he have an ordinary licence and does neuro state its ok for him
to drive see link this may help - i always go by functioning and in
this case is it relapse and remitting ??
sorry i am vague however given the situation is unpredictable with
the information in your post i would be guarded at this stage until i
knew more about what was going on see the attached link its worth
phoning the MS society they may be able to help you - the risk he
would have would mainly be to himself unless he works with others if
so can they not do the forklift duties or have someone assigned to them
i would do a medical anyway to assess findings from screening and
take it from there
