renting room to ex?

Right then, this may seem a bit unusual but, myself and my ex are still living in the same house while we sort out getting it sold, the mortgage etc is in my name, we have talked about the possibility of either of us moving out while we sell, which could take a while, I am on a DMP so if I suddenly have a change of address the creditors may get a bit tetchy, and the mortgage company would have to agree first, if my ex moved out she'd struggle to find anything sensible.
She claims a benefit which would mean her rent would be paid, whereas, I am self employed.
"IF" she were to rent a room from me while we sort things out, what would we have to do to show the DHSS we were not living together as a couple?
We are not trying to defraud anyone of anything, if she moved elsewhere she would have to pay rent, and if she moved out, I would take on a lodger to help pay bills till the house was sold

It may be better re-post this in the benefits section, some of the benefit bulldogs there will enjoy getting their teeth into your question.
