PIP won't be affected. Is he going to paid for the internship? if so then this will be treated as earned income. He will have the work allowance which means he can receive a certain amount of earnings each month before the 55% deductions apply.If he claims for help with the rent the work allowance will be £379/month, if he doesn't then it will be £631/month. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-work-allowances/universal-credit-work-allowancesHe will also need to report a change of circumstances and tell them he's working (if his employer pays him)
