Hi @feyjames and welcome to the community.
I'm glad to hear your daughter was awarded PIP, that must be a big weight off your mind? As far as I'm aware (and if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will tell me soon) your UC shouldn't be affected by them claiming PIP.1 -
@Albus_Scope is correct.. sort of. UC is not affected in a bad way because your child element for her will continue until the 1st September following her 19th birthday if she remains in full time non advanced education.
You say she will “soon” be receiving PIP, has she had a decision on that claim yet? Once she has, if she’s award Enhanced daily living then you will be entitled to the higher disabled child element. If it’s any other award then you will be entitled to the lower disabled child element.
Are you claiming the LCWRA element for yourself? If not and her PIP award includes the daily living part then you will be able to claim carers element of UC. This will increase your maximum UC entitlement by a further £189.31/month.
