OK, nother tack.
Was he still within the 13 week period (if he ever had one) during which he was entitled to limit his jobsearch to his only or main occupation? And if so, have they given details of these alleged jobs? They will be referring to jobs available in the jobcentre, I assume.
If he wasn't, were those jobs suitable - eg, did they require experience or qualifications he didn't have?
I only ask because I recently had an "actively seeking" case where the guy had said he was looking for retail work and one of the jobs they suggested was working in a fabric shop advising cutomers about choice and suitability of fabrics for different purposes! He had never done anything with fabrics in his life.
They are clearly using the type of job he was applying for to prop up their theory that he was only looking for work that would allow him to continue with his course. Can you show that any of the jobs he did apply for would have been incompatible with the course - would have required him to work at times when he would have been attending it?
Looking for jobs as few as 6 hours a week doesn't help him - he should not be looking for jobs of fewer than 16 hours a week (though I suppose he could have 2 part-time jobs, lots of people do).
