Government child trust fund maturing for child with severe learning difficulties

So my DS is nearly 17 and has SLD, hasn’t got the capacity to deal with money
We have paid into his government child trust fund and he will have a substantial amount when it matures
i thought he had a bank account, which I pay all his benefits into, but apparently it’s only a saving account, with me being the named account holder
After some research, it seems the only way it can be released, is by us becoming a deputy by court of protection and then paying it into the above mentioned bank account
any tips for filling in the forms would be gratefully received- thanks
