You say "now separated". Is she (still) married and if so is her husband legally working in the UK? If so they are family members of a worker and should be OK.

Then she is still his family member, and as long as he is working (legally) or genuinely between jobs and on jobseeker's allowance she can claim any benefits she likes.
