Hi
My wife has scleroderma, an incurable condition needing daily medication including methotrexate.
With medication she leads a normal life with no extra care required.
As she will be on medication for the rest of her life will this be seen as too big a burden to the state to provide medical help and therefore prevent us from being sucessful in any residence application?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Clive.

I'm certainly not an expert, but I know that your wife's disease is in the arthritis family (inflamatory) and I think NZ views that as a chronic expensive disease. I'd have to say it doesn't look good. BUT, the medication you list is cheap so perhaps it's not a big deal.

Good luck to you.
