My Mum went into respite care a week ago, for a period of weeks to months, I've only just thought about the tv license and that I might not be covered. I live in her house with her, and she gets the free oap's license so I'm normally covered by that, am I still? What about council tax?

    If it's still her address you will be OK. Otherwise you would be uncovered if she went on holiday etc.
    When it's no longer her address you'll need a TV licence, but you will get 25% CT discount.
