We don't deal with Child Benefit on the forum but my understanding is that the person who the children are living with should receive the CB, all I can suggest is that you contact the CSA.

Yes, your daughter can claim CA against your PIP providing you have a Daily Living award.

Carers Allowance has to be claimed against an enabling benefit that the career is receiving such as PIP Daily Living.

So, providing your daughter is able to provide the 35 hours of care a week then she can claim CA for looking after you.
