Hi @rowan1. I'm sorry you're having to deal with the stress of this. It sounds like they may be assuming you and your estranged-husband are a couple and potentially living together.
If he has his own home and can evidence this (bills showing utility usage would be a good start) then you shouldn't need to worry. 
What was the statement they asked you to sign?

It's my understanding that if they don't believe any wrong-doing then you won't hear any further from them.

Just stating that he stayed at weekends and that he owned the house that we where good freinds but not in a relationship that we did go on hols as freinds

Hi there I’m not a benefit expert but they could just be checking in because you was looked at 6 years ago or some one could of said some thing to them or it could just be a random check . If he has his own house and can prove that with bills ect then I don’t see there being any problem . 

I remember years ago my friend has some thing similar happen to her her neighbours reported her and she got looked into they just asked her partner to prove he had his own place and it was all ok .
