Benefits for Disabled Student - Help Me Please

Lindy-Lou_2

:wave:

I need some help from one of you kind people as I just haven't got the time to trawl the DWP site .......
I was already a Carer for a disabled person, now I am having to look after my daughter giving 24hr help. She previously was previously disabled but now has another condition and has been away from uni for 3 months now and still has to pay her rent. She has come home to live so would think she would be able to claim an Attendance Allowance but not sure if I could get a 2nd Carers Allowance. She has a car due to her original problems but now she will not be able to use it, even when her present condition improves, so would she be able to apply for the Motability Scheme? Not sure what happens about student grants, prescriptions etc as she has no income.
Please, please if there is anybody who can help me I would be so grateful as everytime I try to trawl the DWP site I fall asleep through exhaustion!!
So I will say a big 'thank you' in advance for any suggestions you can make and let me know if I have missed anything she could claim for.

She previously was previously disabled but now has another condition and has been away from uni for 3 months now and still has to pay her rent ,

So IS she still disabled? does she get DLA at any rate?

Has she formally left university or is she just taking a break?

You can only claim one lot of carers allowance.

Sorry everybody that I haven't got back to you, she is now back in hospital but thank you to you all for your replies.
I applied for DLA last night. No she has not formally left uni they are just aware of the situation. I have contacted the DWP to advise them of the change in circumstances so hopefully will get the upper allowance. Hopefully we will be able to get Motability - is there anything else?

Thanks a million.
