HI BW

Welcome to the forum.

You need to change your user name as it will be confusing to forum members

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum.

When you son leaves school he will be able to apply for Universal Credit; www.gov.uk/universal-credit. I would advise you to seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk , they will be able to take all his circumstances into account when giving advice.
