    What type of course is he doing? Two years makes me assume that it is not a degree?

    The fact that he is no longer living with his parents will be irrelevant, unless he can prove that he has absolutely no contact or involvement with them (there is a proper word for it, just can't think of it!).
    Gone ... or have I?

    Very little support is available for those in full time education without dependents. I don't think that he will really be entitled to anything.
