Hi @juliem68
From the information you have given, I doubt that applying for CA would have an impact on your mother.
The only impact it can have, is if the claimant is receiving a 'Severe Disability Premium' on their income-replacement benefit (ESA/JSA/IS) then this is stopped by someone claiming CA. However she should not be receiving this anyway, as if you are living with another (non-disabled) adult, then the Severe Disability Premium should not be applied.
Hope this helps!
Mary
