    It’s difficult enough to get IP, you will have to get letters from GP and Consultants and basically prove you’re not able to work, ever.


    It’s not means tested so your other half can work. I’m not a doctor but from experience in the disability area, it’s not easy to get IP with arthritis unless it’s advanced Rheumatoid or Ankylosing Spondolitis.


    Nearly everyone who applies is refused the first time so be prepared to appeal if that’s the case


    best of luck
