Carers Allowance

I have a client with a learning disabilitiy who agreed to their relative putting in a claim for CA. They signed the CA form declaring that they understood that other benefits could be affected if the award was made. As a consequence, my client has lost SDP, IS, HB/CTB etc. Can any of you clever people out their advise me what to do please? All I have is a letter to my client form Jobcentre plus dated 6th Jan infoming them that they are no longer entitled to IS, this is how the claim for CA was discovered when the SDP wasn't included in the letter. I have scoured the CPAG WB and TC Handbook to no avail as the decision to award CA was correctly made on the infomation provided by the carer. Can I appeal and if so on what grounds, I was thinking of going along on the lines of incapacity, any help would be appreciated?
