Universal credit change of circumstances

[Emma0112]

I’ve recently moved into a property I was already claiming uc While homeless.
Once they receive everything will I be able to apply for an advance and would it be just from the amount they will add to my existing claim or will I be able to advance for the full amount of my entitlement?
I’m also bankrupt so will I be able to have an advance I never had one when I forst started claiming.

You're already claiming UC? If so, as long as you don't owe anything you can apply. Go to your UC online sign in page. Click payments and advances. Apply. Tell them you need a new cooker or fridge or whatever you need. Then write in your journal to your advisor that you need it badly etc. They might send it out today and you'll have it today too. I cannot stress strongly enough that you CAN'T already owe money. If you're a new claimant you can still apply for one.

Oh btw, to have it today it needs to be an emergency. A fridge would be an emergency. Especially as it's summer.

Ah ok well mine to pay this months rent as they did not look at it until I queried why it wasn’t in last months statement even tho I told them the change way before the assessment period ended.
Could I use the fact I need some as I’ve just started up from scratch and need a few bits too.
Thanks

Honestly, they're useless with backdating things like rent. Just apply for a fridge and use the money for rent.
