I'm afraid his options are very limited.
He can only be excused from his JSA responsibilities for a maximum of 13 weeks in any 52 week period and his last ESA claim resulted in him being found Fit for Work then he can only make a new claim for ESA if he has a new condition or his existing conditions have deteriorated and he would now meet the criteria for an award.
Also, in order to make a claim for ESA he would have to close his JSA claim.
