They can remain in the UK for up to 6 months, without a visa. They will not have access to public funds.https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/613777bae90e0704352cbb0a/The_UK_s_points-based_immigration_system_-_An_introduction_for_EU_EEA_and_Swiss_visitors.pdf
Whether it will affect your UC will depend on where she's treated as living. If it's temporary then it may not affect your UC. This is quite complex so I'd advise you to get some expert advice from an agency near you.
What ever you do please do not ring the UC helpline because they will not be able to advise you.1 -
Thank you for your reply, it gives me something to start with and the 6 months period may be enough.
