Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.. but I'm sure it is:

WTC - Single person over 25: 30hrs.
W&CTC - Single parent: 16hrs min.
W&CTC - Couple with child/ren: 24hrs, with one doing 16 min.

You can only work up to 15 hours and still claim JSA, and you need 30 hours for WTC so you cannot claim both
