Made 590 for the month on self employment wages, not getting universal credit payment?

Hi
I made £590 for the month in self employment wages, and had been claiming universal credit. On my gateway interview with my workcoach he said that I would still get a payment of universal credit (my payment is £250 per 5 weeks). However on checking my universal credit account I am freaking out as they've said that my payment for the month is 0.00 and as all my wages went out on rent and bills, I now literally have no money in order to get to and from work
Has anyone else had anything like this?

£251 is the standard allowance for someone aged under 25. With income of £590, then the earnings deduction 63 pence for each £1 earned will mean nil UC payment
Are UC not paying housing rent ?
If you have a commercial rental agreement with a landlord, then UC should pay housing.
Perhaps you should call UC first thing tomorrow.
If you are due housing and it just needs to be added, then they might be able to process a payment.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0
