Will she be in full time education or will she be in employment?

I don't think your daughter will be entitled to anything, perhaps EMA.
Appart from that you should apply for the child benefit for her and then child tax credits.
EMA claim pack :- https://learnersupport.direct.gov.uk/AFR/(S(bw0jdaatcwab4l45kcza1m45))/ApplicationPack/EMA/201011
child tax credits number:- 0845 300 3900
chld benefit number:- 0845 302 1444

If she is staying on in education, and your total income is less than about £30K per year, she will be eligible for between £10 and £30 per week from EMA. You should see if you can apply for that midyear so that she can receive it to help with her costs of attending school - books, transport, etc.
