My DS turned 20. He receives PIP as his SEN is complex. I have been told he can now receive UC, whilst at college, but he would need a bank account for this.
Up until now I have managed his money as he would not have a clue. To receive UC he would need a bank account, and does not have a passport, driving license (the idea of that is hilarious) and obviously does not pay any bills etc as its all done through the bank of Mum and Dad.
DH and I plan to carry on looking after him until we are too inferm, in which case our other DC has offered to take over his care. I'm in a bit of a quandry as putting him through a UC application would be distressing for him - PIP was pretty bad. I have never claimed UC myself so its not anything I know about. Googling has just made the whole thing confusing! Has anyone gone through this who might be kind enough to offer advise please?
