As advised on your other thread, it will be Universal Credit he will need to claim. He will need to report his health condition and provide a fit note within 7 days of this and continue to send them without any gaps until a decision is made on the work capability assessment. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6400952/16-year-old-dropping-out-of-college#latestHowever, if you live in England they must do one of the following until you reach 18.
- stay in full-time education, for example at a college
- start an apprenticeship or traineeship
- spend 20 hours or more a week working or volunteering, while in part-time education or training

Career services
You can get tax credit for 20 weeks if your child leaves education or training before they’re 18 and:
- registers with their local careers service, Connexions or local authority support service (or the Education and Library Board in Northern Ireland or similar careers organisation in the European Economic Area, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland or Liechtenstein)
- joins the Armed Forces
If he claims UC then all your benefits for him will end.
