HI and welcome,If she's one of the extremely vulnerable people that received a letter to self isolate for 12 weeks then she will receive one of the parcels. If she didn't receive a letter then she won't receive the parcel. You don't register for it, it's automatically given.The most vulnerable list is here. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19#what-do-we-mean-by-extremely-vulnerable
