Answer 1

You are allowed to earn some money and work so many hours part time. Money and hours depends on your age so check with your local office.  

Answer 2

Your wages from part time work should not effect your Mum's income support unless they decide you should be contributing to the household but as you are a full time student I do not think this will be the case. You should however check this with your local benefit office just to be sure.
