How Much Incapacity Benefit?

Hi

How much IB should I be receiving? I have been getting IB for approx 8 yrs now. I used to get high rate IB plus the age allowance. My daughter started to receive IB Aug 08 and she is getting over £200 a fortnight, and more than I receive. She is 25 and single. Could someone please let me know what I should be receiving.

Many thanks
