Carers allowance question

Hi all
I live with my adult daughter and son, she is a temp working full time, and son is in uni.
I need more help and am on disability living allowance, if my daughter leaves work to care for me, will this affect the housing benefit that I now receive? Or will it still be paid ? At the moment it is all paid with housing benefit, even though my daughter is working, housing benefit know that my son and daughter live with me, and that she works but I am entitled to full benefits, I am just worried that if she leaves work, we may be liable to pay some rent ? Even though we are not liable at the moment ! Hope this isn't a confusing post ��
Many thanks
Ted

There is no non dependent deduction if your on dla, if your daughter claims carers allowance she can claim an income support top up.0
