Is budgeting advance different?

Sagham

I got my first payment advance last year when I signed up for UC In September which I got £600 and finish paying it off next year.

someone told me I can get a budgeting advance as well but am unsure if it’s the same thing do I have to pay off the first payment advance before I can apply? 

Any help is great

A new claim advance payment is different to a budgeting advance and doesn't affect you apply for this even with an outstanding debt for the first loan. However, it's not guaranteed that they will agree to the loan, it will depend on why it's needed. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/on-universal-credit/budgeting-advance/

Thank you for the link how do I apply for a budgeting advance do I leave a note in my journal or do I ask when I have a uc appointment? I need a new washer as mine has broke and need one to wash the kids clothes that’s all. Never applied for one before on UC
