Esa IR and working non dependants

I might have to pay a non dependant deduction re my housing benefit (though it seems MR of care might mean I don't) However, as it is my 17 year old daughter, not a wife or partner will this affect my I R Esa? Can't find anything on the resources or online about this. As far as I understand ig, this should not affect my sickness genefits as it isn't a partner.

As I understand it, there might be a charge of about 14 which I might have to put towards my rent. Even that isnt definite as I am on middle rate of care and it seems housing and cluncil tax ben dont take deductions from those on MRC. I used to get severe dis premium paid by income support when on incal ben. Hosever, this is paid within my income related esa now. As far as I know because shes 16 nearly 17, that wont be affected until shes 18 anyway, by which time I will likely be on pip which doeasnt have severe dis prdmium
