I would think that you would, britvic1, because you'd be resident in her house and therefore entitled to this money wherever you live.

There doesn't seem to be any reason why you shouldn't be eligible. If you get it now, you should continue to get it. If you haven't reached the age to claim it, you will get it automatically when you do.

Unless there`s another person living there who`s 60+, in which case the payment is divided between you, like with my husband and myself.
