DVD, reading the OP I'm not 100% clear... if he had applied for a SORN whilst the car was still taxed he would get a refund on the outstanding tax if he asked for the SORN to start straight away? Therefore if the DVLA have already got his SORN (ie he'd already posted it to them before he lost his job and the circumstances changed) the car would now be SORN'd and untaxed and the refund on its way back to him.
Personally, if I were him, I'd phone up the DVLA before taking it out on the road to find out whats happenning at their end, or he could be driving an untaxed vehicle if the DVLA have already processed his SORN.
