The next day she phoned me and asked me for my UK National Insurance number, which I gave her, and she said it will be "Kept on file".

I owe a few thousand pounds in unpaid UK income taxes from a failed business. Will they be able to find this out? Will they bother to find it out? Will it affect my DA claim if they do?

Will it affect my JA payments?
