If she is truly financially dependent on you then you should be able to get the RC for her. For details see http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... dlaw/ecis/ , in particular chapter 2 (point 2.3.2). BTW, did she come on a visitor visa or on an EEA family permit?

Doesn't matter, in accordance with the ECJ ruling in case C-127/08 (Metock).

lolik12345, your mother is entitled to reside in the UK if she is a person described in either Article 2(2) or Article 3(2) of Directive 2004/38/EC:

2) "Family member" means:
(a) the spouse;
(b) the partner with whom the Union citizen has contracted a registered partnership, on the
basis of the legislation of a Member State, if the legislation of the host Member State
treats registered partnerships as equivalent to marriage and in accordance with the
conditions laid down in the relevant legislation of the host Member State;
(c) the direct descendants who are under the age of 21 or are dependants and those of the
spouse or partner as defined in point (b);
(d) the dependent direct relatives in the ascending line and those of the spouse or partner as
defined in point (b);

2. Without prejudice to any right to free movement and residence the persons concerned may have
in their own right, the host Member State shall, in accordance with its national legislation, facilitate
entry and residence for the following persons:
(a) any other family members, irrespective of their nationality, not falling under the definition in
point 2 of Article 2 who, in the country from which they have come, are dependants or
members of the household of the Union citizen having the primary right of residence, or
where serious health grounds strictly require the personal care of the family member by the
Union citizen;
(b) the partner with whom the Union citizen has a durable relationship, duly attested.

That wasn't my point. For the EEA FP the mother would have been able to demonstrate the exact nature of the relationship.
