My son is handicapped ( physical 85%). I got the certificate for that. I want to claim the deduction under section 80dd in this financial year. He got employed on 9th dec 2013. Can I claim the deduction this FY. How much

I would say no, you cannot. The person is no more dependent. In income tax we do the computation as on the last day of the previous year including things like age (for senior citizen) etc.
As such the above opinion holds good. You may claim the deduction and hope that case is not picked up for scrutiny. But some risk might still be there!
