Dependent child credit - college student

Why does it not allow me to claim my daughter as a dependent. She is a full time college student. She gets VA education assistance but I still pay for over half her support. She does work PT and has earned 18k last year and she is claiming on her tax that she can be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax. But after I filed my taxes I noticed that I did not get the $500 credit for her. She started college 2023 last year in August.
