I will received child benefit for my son until the end of August. Is it possible for him to currently claim universal credit now, in his own right? Thanks.

Yes, but you need to close down Child Benefit from date of his UC claim and remove him as a child from your UC claim if you have one.
The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.2 -
