Live in carer's effect on my benefits???

Posts: 3 Newbie
I am at the stage where I need a full time live in carer due to severe arthritis and want to know how their moving in will affect my benefits. I am a 50 year old female with no dependants or partner.
I am in receipt of highest rate DLA for care and mobility as well as ESA (income support previously) along with housing benefit.
The thing I want to know is how having a carer move in permanantly instead of as and when needed will affect the money I am in receipt of ?
Finally who and when do I need to notify the necessary departments?
