speak to the CAB or fhe mencap helpline and see if they can advise you but my belief is he should be helping towards things with this money. You maybe entitled to other benefits as well or speak to wwwturn2us as they may also be able to advise you.

Hello there, I would recommend reaching out to Mencap’s Learning Disability Helpline at 0808 808 1111 or email helpline@mencap.org.uk as they will be able to give you some guidance on your options here. Wishing you and your son the best of luck :)
