    Yes, your ctc will stop altogether, unles you have another child you haven't mentioned. Not 100% sure, but I think your daughter will have to pay for her prescriptions too!

    Off the subject I know but it might increase your income if your wife claims Carers Allowance for looking after you. She won't be paid it as it overlaps with Incapacity Beneift but it means you'l have a carers premium included in the amount the law says you need to live on. It will increase your IS by 27.15 pw.
    I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!

    Your daughter will have to pay for her prescriptions, maybe worth stocking up...

    your daughter can fill in the HC1 form and get her prescriptions free if she's on a low income.
