    You can't apply for her as a Dependant unless you can make a case to ImmD that there are very special circumstances. I doubt that you would be successful as a Domestic Helper either. I know someone who tried and failed to get his mother in law in on that basis. Sisters-in-law seem OK, but not mothers-in-law, as far as I've heard.
