From JSA to job+WTC some advice please.

After a period of 6 months on JSA I have secured a job.:j
The pay's not great,but it's a job and with WTC I should be ok.
I don't start until the 15th October, so I am still signing on til then. I have a number of applications I've not heard from, and I'm still searching for something with more hours as this is only 20 hours a week. I just phoned the TC helpline to let them know, but the recorded message said I can only tell them of changes after they have happened, so I have to wait til I've actually started working to claim WTC?
Ideally I'd like the transition from just CTC to CTC+WTC to be as smooth and quick as possible, as I won't be getting paid until November, could anyone give me pointers as to how to make this happen quickly? Or at the very least to continue getting CTC, or will they stop this too until the wtc has been worked out?
I've read horror stories about it taking several months to sort out, is this the same if you are already "on the books" as it were, and getting CTC?
Thanks for reading and for any advice you can offer.
