My sisters son help
Comments

He cannot apply for ESA because OP says he is in a UC area.her son will be able to claim an income benefit in his own right. if he is unable to work, he'll need to go through assessments for ESA.
Options, as covered in other posts, are PIP, Carers Allowance or UC. Little point in applying for Carers as pmlindyloo says because he can get more money through UC if they are satisfied that he is a carer and/or unable to work.
Can claim both PIP and UC.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0 -
Like pmlinyloo and NeilCr I would encourage you to help your sister and your nephew to get a benefits check and help with forms from thier local advice agency / CAB.Alice Holt Forest situated some 4 miles south of Farnham forms the most northerly gateway to the South Downs National Park.0

You can still claim "new style" ESA instead of UC, regardless of the area, however will be under NI contributions. as the nephew has never worked, would be UC, so apologies for my previous statement0 -
Flipping hell this is going to be a bit complicated..i think i might hook them up with a citizens advice appointment and there better than me to sort him out..if i can get him there not sure if hes ever been on a bus ..
