Hi @j_jassan236
I don't believe that your adult child has to pay you rent by law but you may ask them to. If you are in social housing it may be worth checking with them, and if they are giving you money, it may be worth checking that this won't affect your benefits.
Perhaps Citizens Advice might be helpful?Scope

You will have a non dependent deduction from your housing benefit and council tax depending on her earnings

As the other person is claiming DLA then there's no non dependent deductions for the housing benefit. Non dependent deduction don't exist for council tax reduction.
