Council tax benefit. Advised to evict my friend, Would he be better off.

My mate who is now over 60 was evicted 2 years ago so I took him in. But I have been on esa for 13 weeks and may now have to go on jsa. I cannot get ctax benefit as I am being honest and that he is doing a few jobs like a paper round, collecting glasses at a club an earning around £120 a week. He gives me around £40 per week. But someone from the advice centre said that I should think of myself here and more or less kick him out. I would find that very hard to do and what would happen to him. He is 61. Would he be better off elsewhere due to his age. What would you do if you were in my situation.
Sorry if it is not clear. very stressed atm.

Thanks all.
