HI,

For your daughter to be able to claim the carers element of UC then you must be claiming a disability benefit such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care. See link.. the same rules apply to carers allowance and carers element of UC. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/carers-allowance/
