DLA to PIP. I've given detailed info for each factor along with 2 supporting letters. Anything else?

My adult daughter has been on LRC/LRM since 2007. I’ve been providing 24/7 care for her since 2010 and fluffed up two reviews so the award stayed the same both times.
Having received an updated crisis plan from social care I plucked up the courage to seek advice from a welfare benefits adviser who suggested I phone PIP to start the process. Problem being my daughter is unable to process phone calls so took 3 attempts to get her to follow a prompt sheet I had drafted for her.
I’m posting the form in two days. I’ve given detailed info regarding each factor, enclosed 2 supporting letters and I’m going to request the longest award.
Is there anything else?

If your daughter is unable to manage her affairs for herself have you asked to become her appointee?

Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Hi @calcotti yes I told them during the phone call I was intending to apply.

Received the confirmation text from DWP this morning. The scan backlog must be easing. 🤞
