State Benefits at 19

Hi all

My son is 18 and is currently on PIP. It is very unlikely he will never work. What benefits will he get, if any as he m9ves I to adulthood

Many thanks

  • Pip will continue as it is condition based and not an employment benefit. Depends on circumstances for the rest he could get esa if signed off and declared he can't work or even income support. If he is deemed able to work he will have to claim jsa and comply with all the mandatory jobsearchs or he will lose his benefits, depending on where you live it could be universal credit. 

    Best idea is to look on one of the disability benefits sites they have calculators that work out what you could claim based on your circumstances
