Has anyone moved from tax credits to universal credit between the cost of living payments?

I got the first payment when I was on tax credits but I’ve since been moved over to universal credit and on gov.uk it doesn’t mention anything about the eligibility for this situation.

It only states that if I receive tax credits (no set dates) I could get both payments and if I was entitled to UC between 26th August - 25th September I will be eligible for the second payment.

The issue is I wasn’t on UC during those dates, only after, but I’m no longer entitled to TC as I moved over so will I still get the second payment? It’s so ambiguous

If you weren't on UC during the qualifying dates then you will get it from tax credits but those payments are being paid after all the Uc ones have been paid to avoid duplication.

Hello! I did, but it sounds like I moved over a bit before you (we migrated in July). I received the first payment on the tax credits date, but I received a text today to tell me I'd be receiving the second within the UC dates. Hope that's helpful :)
