    Yes, if he's no longer in full time non advanced education then you will need to report the changes to UC and your child element and disabled element will both stop. Same applies to child benefit.

    If you or a partner are also working and you have no other children on your claim then you will no longer have the work allowance, unless either of you have been through the work capability assessment and are found to have either LCW or LCWRA.

    He will be able to claim UC in his own right as he's no longer a student. He will need to make sure he reports his health condition and provides a fit note within 7 days of that. He will then be referred for a work capability assessment. As he's under the age of 25 then he'll be entitled to £311.68/month. This will increase if he's found to have LCWRA.
