Yes when you stop receiving Child Benefit for your son he will become a non-dependant and you will no longer be considered as living alone preventing payment of the Severe Disability Premium.
If he receives a PIP Daily Living award, it doesn't matter what rate, then you will again be considered as living alone.

I am trying to work out if I slow down the sale of my buy to let to try and synchronize it with completion of a shared ownership purchase whether i will still fit the in receipt of ESA payment criteria. I think I need my sons PIP claim to be sped up too.
I don't know why there is a date in September, your ESA remains in payment until a new Decision is made or you no longer meet the entitlement to payment criteria, the DWP can't pre-empt either of these.
