    Yes you need to write a Journal note (using the payment option) to request an Alternative Payment Arrangement (rent direct to LL).

    UC will know your daughter has an appointee in place, it's entirely up to you as to whether you identify yourself in the Journal note.

    Again it's up to you, ESA will confirm her previous award at some point with UC, whether you tell them that or not.
