Hi roy1234

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum

What usually happens is your daughter should receive a letter inviting her to apply for PIP by a certain date if she does not then her DLA claim will stop.

There are back logs within DWP, you may want to chase up DLA to see if a letter has been sent out. Are you your daughters appointee; www.gov.uk/become-appointee-for-someone-claiming-benefits.
