UC prefer claimants to have their own account. They can allow a third party account, but could be awkward about it. If you can open your own now then that would make the process easier, but if you're still unable to then they should accept your cousins account, as long as she can be contacted to agree with that.
There are possibilities if you are homeless:

If you decide to go ahead with making your Cousin your appointee, your benefits would be paid to her and she can transfer money to your account.
