Budgeting Advance Paid off

Evening,

Does anyone know how to apply for a budgeting advance? today I got my statement as I get paid on the 11th and it stating my budgeting advance is now repaid and I am desperately to get a cooker as I haven't got one in my flat.

If I leave it for a few days, will it come on my Universal Credit account where I can apply for one then or will I need to contact my work coach or is they a number to ring to apply for?

Any help would be great thank you.

    You will need to speak to your work coach. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/universal-credit-advances#get-a-budgeting-advance

    Or just call the UC service centre on 0800 328 5644.
    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.
