The issues in the appeal or the refusing letter does not seem make mention of the benefits, and it is highly unlikely it will be brought up in court, without a notice having been given to you.
Under the old rules, you were not exempted from claiming benefit, if you are sponsoring someone, provided the presence of this person, will not result in you having to claim additional benefits.
On a balance of probabilities, you should be fine, if you address the other issues on the refusal decision.
