Job retention scheme for new starters

Hi
I'm looking for advice. I started a new job on 9th March (having left a job where the vast majority of staff have now been furloughed) and as such under the job retention scheme am not eligible to be furloughed at 80%. (must have been on paye payroll on 28th Feb to be eligible) I have opted for unpaid leave over redundancy in the hopes this will all blow over sooner rather than later...
So I'm a bit stuck now. No income no idea what to do and struggling to get through to universal credit. Does anyone know if there is anything more I or my employer can do to help me out?
