Its also something only an idiot would say to you.
Rolls Royce parked on driveway in no way stop someone from claiming and
being awarded JSA.
The thing the CSA are interested in though, were they notified by you of the
change in circumstances - thats what causes them to do new assessment using
your new circumstances.
Being on JSA won't make any difference to the arrears before the date CSA
are notified.

The CSA do have to accept a benefit claim as genuine, unless they have
evidence to the contrary (which they can pass on to benefits office).

Suprising, given what they can find out about your current circumstances,
that they weren't interested in negotiating the arrears repayment rate at
all.
Either incompetence, or they have reason to believe they can get part or all
that money by enforcement much quicker than paying off only a bit at the
moment.
