If you work 24 hours per week or more, any claim for JSA(IB) he makes will be turned down.

It's only if you work less than 24 hours per week that they will look at your earnings. The personal allowance for JSA(IB) is £102.75 pw, your wages are way over that, he won't qualify for anything unless your wages are under approx £112 per week.
