Disabled (HOLD scheme)

I'm trying every possible avenue for affordable housing right now (meeting with the council on friday) and during my hours of internet research it seems I may be eligible to apply for a house and mortgage under the 'Housing Ownership for Long-Term Disabled' scheme even though my only income comes from disability benefits.
Has anyone here been through this process? is there any advice they could give?
I'm also a little confused about whether or not to include my partner as a 'joint' owner, or just add him as someone living with me (it accepts either scenario in the application form online). I'm unsure about him being an official co-owner as we've only been together a relatively short time.
Any advice? Thank you
