Not much for the mum. Your income doesn't affect hers - it only affects your Girl Friends.
the mum will lose a small entitlement to Housing Benefit (none dependant) and possibly some Council Tax.
But it won't be a great deal of money - and I am sure the rent you will pay her will more than cover it.
Good luck0 -
Oh I hoped it wouldn't affect hers my girlfriend currently does not work

Unless your GF is getting Contribution based JSA or other non-means-tested benefits, you will be wholly responsible for keeping her.
So you will need to pay a couple's non-dependent rate contribution to CT and rent plus her portion of the food and bills.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -

Of course you did.
Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.
