    Hi  :D Just curious how long after you apply for UC can you apply for the first advance? I applied a week ago and the option isn't available. Thanks!
     Do you need to go to the job centre for an ID check? I did a week after applying and it was there i was offered the advance. 
    I would still expect you to have to attend your first appointment. The advance payment option should appear after that I believe. 
    Oh ok? Will I get a note in the journal to attend one? I'm disabled and actually having an operation next week. I made the application over from ESA 8 days ago and haven't heard anything about an appointment
    Ok so this it I’ve solved lol, but I’m so dumb. Can someone please explain. I don’t work and have been awarded the limited capacity thing.. so the payments should be the same every month but I understand it’s paid monthly? Will it be the same date every month? What if there are 5 weeks in that month? Will it be a different figure? Thanks😭
    i get esa and pip and im in a the support group lcwra will i get the same payment on UC?
