    It will not effect your UC or PIP.

    You do still need to update UC once she moves in. If you get Housing Element no non dependant deduction will be made due to your PIP (if you get Daily Living).

    You will need to inform Council Tax, your single person discount will end and the amount of Council Tax Reduction you get may reduce.

    As CTR is decided on at a local level it's very hard to advise on individual cases from here.

    Your local council website should have a benefits calculator, or you can try the one below which I believe can work for individual local authorities.
