son currently getting EMA, I get his CB & CTC but what would he get if he....

My 17 y.o son is currently on a apprenticeship and gets EMA, I still get CTC and CB for him.

But he recently became a father and is wanting to move in with his girlfriend (she gets income support etc for her and baby), or to get a flat of his own, he IS planning on sticking with his course to give his baby a better future.

But as I currently get the above benefits for him and he gets EMA, does anyone know what (if anything) he might be entitled to if he does move into a flat of his own, or into his girlfreinds family home?


would he get income support?
or jobseekers?
or housing benefit?

thanks for reading and especially for any advise you might be able to give me.

Thanks
