My 17yr old daughter has basically become my carer due to severe deppression and mental health. She's at college 3 days a week and I claim child benefit for her. I'm support Groupon esa and I get standard rate pip. Can she claim carers allowance for helping me

Hello @mamalou72
Welcome to the community, how are you?
Your daughter sounds like a super person, what is she studying at college?
Is your mental health something you receive support with from your GP? And have you ever had conversations with your local authority's social care team about any kind of care package from them?
How many hours per week does your daughter care for you? You can find some information here from Citizens Advice about CA, and you might also wish to use a benefits calculator to check your entitlement.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?

Whether or or not she can claim will depend on how many hours she is studying (and if your PIP award includes Daily Living).Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
