Can someone who is getting national insurance credits only make a new claim for income-related ESA?

Hello

I have a client whose income-related ESA stopped about three months ago because their savings went above £16,000.00.  However, the client continues to receive national insurance credits.  The savings have now fallen below £16000.00, can the client make a new claim for income-related ESA?  The client does not meet any of the other exceptions where a new claim for income-related ESA is allowed.

Thanks
