Arthritic Friend

Hi all,
I have a friend that I work with who is fifty seven. She is able to work at the moment but she has visible arthritis in her hands and is often in pain. She is worried about how long she will be able to continue to work for. If she becomes unable to work because of her condition what should she do? I haven't told her I am posting this on here, I am just hoping that I will be able to reassure her that she will be able to get some help.
Thank you

If ESA it would be new style ESA https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-style-employment-and-support-allowance. This is not means tested and depends on previous NI contributions.
There is also Universal Credit https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit which is means tested.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
