    Hi @headsaway123, welcome to the community. 

    You can still claim benefits when you are homeless, so your daughter should be fine using your address as her care-of address. Unless she receives any housing-related benefits, there isn't much to report as a change to her circumstances, but I'm no expert on this area so I wouldn't like to say for certain that this would be the case. 

    It might be worth asking Citizens Advice or a local benefits advisor whether they can clear things up for you both. 

    I'll pop your post over to our benefits section so that more members can find it and offer some more solid advice than I can, but I just wanted to say hello and welcome :)
