Do not tell them until day before or they will cut your benefit off and you'll be stranded. Many stories of this happening to others.

Wow, congratulations!

Yes, as above, absolutely do not tell them until the day before you leave.

Congratulations. I always like to hear stories of people getting a job, especially in these troubled times. I wish you every success in your new position.

This is only the case if the claimant chooses to stop seeking work before their start date. If they continue to do so (and it is advisable, many jobs do fall through), they are still eligible for JSA.

Thanks everybody, I know didn't think I'd ever find work but just proved its hard but it is possible to get work am still applying for ther jobs just in case the job falls through but got it in writing and already got my transport booked through them so hopefully won't happen
