Daughter with learning disabilities having difficulties at work

I have a 44 year old daughter with a learning disability. She has always worked from the age if 19 as a care assistant or a care assistant in Residential Hones for the elderly. She is finding difficulties of recording, writing and spelling. She is also asking residents and their visitors how to spell certain words. One residents visitor has made a written complaint. She has had two informal warnings. My daughter has an unblemished record before this. There are other issues like not remembering to knock on doors before entering. She has now been told she is likely to get a disciplinary.

Our daughter told this employer that she had a learning disability when she was took on.
She has now had two warnings and a date now for a disaplinary/dismissal. She is struggling and does not realise the severity of the situation. She has never had a formal diagnosis. Is now in receipt of pips. I am windering how she will stand if she gives notice before things are escalated by the employer. And how she will stand for benefits.
How is your daughter getting on?
Let us know how it goes. If things don't go well, I hope she can find an employer who is more supportive.
