    Yes, it's ok provided they get permission from the council first.

    Reasons the council could refuse are if it would make the house overcrowded (I'm not sure how they'd feel about you sharing a room with the baby long term), or if you have had issues in a previous council or voluntary tenancy (anti-social behaviour, damage, left owing rent).

    You need to ask welfare about that. No one else can tell you.

    They would class it as cohabiting and could cause problems with your payments.
    Ask in the state benefits forums specifically for the benefit question
