Daughter has applied for PIP, but hasn't heard back. Can she/we claim anything else?

Hi, my adult daughter has applied for PIP having been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. She’s not heard anything back yet but we understand it does take some time. She did want a part time job but mentally doesn’t seem ready. 

Are there any other benefits she/we could claim? This is new to us all. I work part time as does her dad.
Any advice welcome, thank you

If she has no or little income she can claim Universal Credit. She should get a Fit Note from her GP saying she is unfit for work and can then be referred for a Work Capability Assessment which could, in due course, increase her entitlement.

Thanks, I will look into this ?
