Assuming the rules stay the same.... You will be ok so long as you arrive in the uk by 25/07/2009. Any later than that may mean you have to apply for an additional visa (more money...). It would be advisable though not to leave it quite that late.

You can work as soon as you arrive in the UK, and you don't actually have to get an National Insurance number until after you get a job (or least get an offer of a job).

In terms of other rights you are entitled to free healthcare (though dentists are not actually totally free...). You aren't entitled to many other benefits (assuming you don't have kids).
