Help please. Housing benefit?

My current job has slowed down so I have been asked to go part time.
Looking at this positively though as we have just had a baby in august so il be arround a couple more days to help and iv took the decision to go back to college and retrain.
I have updated child benefit, tax credits and I have partly filled in a housing benefit claim form. My main question is it asks for 5 wage slips, do I have to wait five weeks till I can submit it?
Also I was slightly concerned by the woman on the phone at the tax credit office. She worked out my monthly wage by multiplying 4 instead of 52 and dividing by 12. Is this going to cause me a problem?

You can send in the wage slips weekly, my LA are fine with that.
Tax credits are paid 4 weekly so maybe that is why they multiplied your wage by 4."Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." Dalai Lama0
