Does she have a social worker you could discuss the future with?

That sounds correct, if she is on LRC and IB she will not qualify for IS.

It would be worth spending time with a social worker to see if there is anywhere that your daughter could start to become "independent" within a supported environment. You are not going to be around to care for her forever. It would be much easier for her to make a move now while you are able to help with the transition than cope with drastic changes while grieving for you.

thanks,that sounds like good advice,the problem is she would be very vulnerable on her own as she has no sense of danger and is very trusting in people,
