My understanding is that the DLA is yours to control. As I understand it, you can "employ" her as a carer and pay her for some assistance. You should speak to Dept of Work and Pensions and they will advise and clarify your own situation.
If you are living at home, earning and getting DLA then it would be reasonable to pay your mother some rent but you should have a proper agreement with her about what the money gets spent on.
