Advice please

Hello. Need some advice urgently. My partner was the main bread winner but was laid off around 10 days ago due to corona stopping work in his work place ( it was agency his contract was with). So far no look job hunting. I work part time and also claim carers allowance for my son. Sons Dla runs out in 2 weeks and no word on renewal decision. Today we have had a letter saying our tax cred as been stopped due to change of circumstances. 

 We have applied for universal credit but find the whole process pretty confusing and had no responce from the application online . Weve basically got my £400 monthly wage due in 3 weeks, last payment of carers and dla which will be around £600 plus then child benefit monthly. Our out goings including rent and loan repyments  comes to over a grand a month in total. Both our bank accounts are as good as empty.
Not sure where to turn really. 
Thanks in advance
