    Yes, no problems with tax credits except like I said if she gets a rental income.

    It isn't about being 'partners'. HMRC did not think me and my housemate were partners- it is about being financially tied. There is a big difference.

    If you have two people sharing all bills, then your outgoings are less that a person with the same bills living on their own.
    They use financial ties as an indication of being partners. But close blood relatives can't be partners so there will be no problem claiming tax credits as a single person in the OPs case.
