If you claimed Carers Allowance instead of your daughter, you'd have no work commitments.
You can also claim Carers Element (under UC) too.

Your daughter will need to cancel her carers allowance claim before you can claim either carers element or carers allowance for looking after him.
There's also no financial gain to claiming carers allowance at the same time as UC. You can claim carers element without claiming carers allowance, providing your daughter cancels here claim.
Or you can report your health condition and provide a fit note and go through the work capability assessment, which was advised on your other thread.
