I’m presuming she lives with you, if she’s not claiming any rent?

Best advice you can give your daughter is to book an appointment with her local advice agency:

i) to establish if she can claim UC as a carer,
ii) if she needs further advice re the 'compliance' letter,
iii) if she needs help for her son's transition from DLA to ADP. 

Thank you but she does not wish to claim UC   I appreciate your help

I note your comment but I calculate she is likely to be entitled to be between £624 or £906 per month, in addition to the CA, depending on the rate at which your grandson receives DLA. That’s a lot of financial support to decline (unless of course she is excluded by capital over £16,00).

Not forgetting the Cost of living payments for the next year, as well as free NHS dental, prescriptions and eye tests.

If the reason is because she is not looking for work then I think you need to make clear to her the advice here given so she understands she could be meeting the (U/C) criteria for not requiring to seek work while getting significant income she could be missing out on. 

If the reason is because she doesn't want to claim benefits - she already is and so are you. There should be no shame in claiming what you are lawfully entitled to. 

If there's some other reason like high level of savings then might be worth highlighting as the board really is about helping people get their entitlements and people are surely going to point to the idea she might not be getting hers pending any definitive reason to think otherwise.

I think it important she get a check on entitlement to benefits and hopefully the compliance matter can be quickly dealt with.

It's free eye tests and prescriptions up here. 

OP's daughter should speak with CAB etc and sort out other benefit entitlement (to bring it back on track) and the review may be a benefit check to let her know what else she may be entitled to.

Didn't realise the OP is from Scotland, missed that part.
