    Hi @Paigemma welcome you to the community.

    If your other daughter is under 18 have you applied for Disability Living Allowance for them?

    That's incorrect advice, sorry. DLA can only be claimed if a person is under 16. If they are over 16 then it's PIP now and not DLA. PIP has replaced DLA.
