23 year old child working impacts UC?

My sister is going to start a job and is thinking of moving out so she does not impact the mother's UC payments but she does not fancy the idea of a room in a HMO as this is all she can afford.
I have tried to look this up online but cannot find anything concrete. Some pages say that there is a flat deduction of £90 for any adult over 21 and that their income does not matter besides that.

Does anyone know whether her income and job will impact the UC payments?

If your mum claims for help with the rent the non dependent deduction is £91.47/month.

If your mum claims either daily living PIP/ADP, mid/high rate care DLA or AA she’s exempt from those deductions. https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/benefits/universal_credit_housing_cost_contributions

Wouldn't it make much better sense for your sister to pay a contribution to your mother of at least £91.47 a month, so that she is no worse off, and your sister remains living at home.

If sister wasn't at home mum would be under occupying and subject to reduced rent entitlement. 

So while she should definitely contribute, I never recommend a £ for £ contribution for lost benefits because it's just delaying the inevitable financial shock when adult offspring move out.

To me, paying 'rent' of under £25 per week to stay living at home would be a no-brainer, assuming the parents aren't trying to get her to leave.
