Will living with my mother mean I lose benefits?

I currently live on DLA, incapacity benefit and income support and get child tax credits for my daughter. My mother is proposing that I should move in with her so she can support me and help look after my daughter.
Obviously, doing so I would no longer get housing benefit but that's fine because I wouldn't have rent to pay but would I still retain my other benefits or would my mother be expected to support me financially if I were living with her?

DLA and tax credits will remain as they are.
Not sure about the IB and IS, I don't *think* they would be affected but I may be wrong, I'm sure someone will know for sure

What level of DLA do you get?
Depending on that you could lose £50-60 per week (I havent seen this years SDP amount)0 -
but if you do lose the disability premium, and you get mrc/hrc and your mum looks after you for 35+ hours a week, she could claim carers allowance.0
