Student daughter

My daughter is coming to the end of 6th form and will hopefully go to university in September, she's hoping to go to a university nearby and stay at home. Because of our income she'll be entitled to student loans and maintenance grants.

My OH gets Incapacity Benefit topped up with income support and I get Carers Allowance, we also get housing and council tax benefit. I know I have to inform everyone when she leaves 6th form and her child benefit stops but I'm wondering what will happen once she starts university if she's living at home? Do the DWP, housing and council tax benefit take into account her student loan and grant and adjust our benefits?

I know this won't be happening until September but I want to make sure I do everything properly and inform everybody who needs to be informed.
