If I claim my mother's disability tax credit why does the federal caregiver amount automatically populate?

The federal portion credit for the caregiver amount automatically populates when I claim my mother's disability credit. Is this in connection to the disability credit? I didn't claim under the caregiver credit.

If you have a disabled dependent, you are automatically eligible for the tax credit. TurboTax will optimize your return and populate the caregiver info for you.
