Yes, you can apply for universal credit online.

Go to entitledto.com to see whether you are entitled to any benefits.

It will come down to what your household income is, whether you have any disabilities, number of children, whether they have any disabilities and childcare costs.

I'm working 37.5 hours with one child and get UC. Yes you apply online.

You won’t get the cost of living payment due shortly even if you apply today.
You have to be eligible for some universal credit or tax credits during specific dates which fall between mid August 2033 and mid September 2023.
