Yes he is still liable to pay this. Monies owed to the government for benefits never just "go away", and no matter how much time has passed you still owe them. As they can take it out of any future benefits you get (or reduce the amount of benefits by the amount he owes) he may as well arrange to pay it now, while he is working, rather than wait till things are dire and still have this debt hanging over him

Look at my answer to your other post.
