Morning.I am the parent of a severely mentally and physically incapacitated child. As she has significant health needs we have tried to be prudent financially in preparing for her future. My siblings very generously set up covenants and give my daughter approximately 10k per annum. We hold the majority of this money in bank account for her and use remainder to pay for carers as we get limited assistance from state. My daughter requires 24 hour care....feeding, dressing, incontinent etc

My question is she is currently 14, when she turns 16 she will qualify for disability allowance, will she lose disability allowance if she is receiving covenant of 10k annually from her aunt and uncle ....

Would appreciate any advice as am very worried on how to best protect my daughter for her future
