Housing Benefit

Hi everyone. Here is my situation:
I will be moving to a new house in a couple of weeks in Orpington and I need help deciding how the contract will be in order for me to get the maximum Housing Benefit I'm entittled to.
I am a single parent and I'm entittled to the 2 bedroom rate (which is 824.98/month) but i will be living with my sister (20 years old - working part time).
We found a 3 bedroom house and i'm wondering, should both of our names be on the tenancy agreement or only mine? If both of our names are on, will they give me only half of the rent or they will still concider the fact that i'm entitled to 2 bedrooms? (1 for me and 1 for my 2 young boys)
Anyone knows?
