Also stopped is Carers Allowance for his mother, Disabled Parking Badge, free Car Tax and Disabled Bus Pass.
The loss of the Bus Pass alone will cost his son £13 per week, so his voluntary work for a charity will have to end. But he will have to spend so many hours per week at the Jobcentre that that was probable anyway.

The next step after a first Tier Tribunal is the Upper Tribunal. Although you have to initially apply for leave to appeal to the First Tier Tribunal. If the First Tier Tribunal refuse that, you can ask the same question of the Upper Tribunal anyway. After that it is judicial review.
How will he lose his bus pass? It might be more difficult to renew it.
