Pay the arrears before the inheritance arrives, and you'll be fine.

If your CS was collected by the CSA, then any arrears are & will remain a debt due to the commonwealth. While CSA may not 'chase it up' (may in part depend on the size of the debt) there is provision in the act for a payee to initiate proceedings.
