EHCP can i move home and keep my EHCP, or do i re-apply

Hi. 

My 8 year old son, Bear, is diagnosed autistic, with ODD, and Epilepsy.  His school and us have jusy completed his EHCP and are now waiting for a reply.  We wondered if we wanted him to go to a special school, as he is struggling in mainstream school,  if we wanted one in a different county, can the plan be moved with us, or do we need to re-apply?    we want him to go to a school in Dorset, but we live in Hertfordshire. We have a council house, and wondered if we could get them to help us relocate to Dorset. Everything is up in the air at the moment, and its hard to make plans without knowing what we can do.  

I also have a bi-polar disabled husband, and want to move to be near the school, as  I want Bear to go daily, and definitely not residential.  plus, we would be mocving nearer my dad, who is ill.     does anyone know what help/advice we can get regarding this. as everything hinges on whether we can move or not. 

thanks so much for reading this.  :)

    Learning difficulties is also a label that is frequently mis-applied to people with autism. Autism is also very hard to spot in people - I was only diagnosed at 56 when I ran into yet another work related issue - in hindsight I had issues throughout my life but never thought I was any different to anyone else (which displays a lack of insight if nothing else!)
