Not unless your daughter either claims a qualifying disability benefit herself such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care or she's registered blind. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/severe-disability-premium

No problem.

Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you @Debi09. How are you feeling about everything at the moment?

@L_Volunteer relieved that decision on PIP has been made as i think the waiting when you have anxiety is horrendous & shocked i got it on my 1st attempt, Do you know if my housing benefit will be affected as i already pay bedroom tax

There will be no non dependent deductions from your housing benefit if your PIP includes the daily living part.

The bedroom tax will still apply unless you need an extra room for regular overnight carer who doesn’t live with you. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/help-if-on-a-low-income/housing-benefit/how-an-extra-bedroom-affects-your-housing-benefit/check-if-youre-allowed-an-extra-bedroom-for-housing-benefit/
