    Does your UC include any help with rent? If so do you rent privately or from a housing association/local authority?

    So if your housing element is less than your rent the help you get may increase because you will be entitled to a bedroom for him (if one isn’t included already).

    If your PIP includes Daily Living then he will not be expected to make a contribution towards the rent.

    Whether or not it affects Council Tax Reduction will depend on the rules for your local authority.
