OK, since I'm unable to sleep, I've done some more digging and found this on benefitsnow.co.uk:

"The criteria for living alone is that there are no non-dependants aged 18 or over who normally reside with you or who you reside with. A non-dependent is usually one of your adult children who lives with you.

The following are not classed as non-dependents and will therefore be ignored when awarding severe disability premium;

a person who lives with you and makes payment to either you or your landlord for rent
" (my emphasis)

Full list here: www.benefitsnow.co.uk/jsa/incomebased.asp

If this site is correct, I think - hope! - I should be OK. I'm still getting advice tomorrow though.
