Are you sure they have the correct address? If you want to become her appointee did you tell them this when you rang to start her claim? If you did then the forms for the PIP can't be sent until the appointeeship has been set up. Once this is done, they will then send the PIP forms to you, in your name. When filling out the form, you do so as if you were her.

They are closed tomorrow but when they open on Tuesday i'd advise you to ring PIP. 0800 121 4433
