Universal Credit and Social Tariff

Hi all,
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, wasn't sure.
I am in the process of moving into a new property. I am in receipt of Universal Credit. I have contacted BT and accepted their social tariff broadband offer (Essentials, I think, £23 per month?). That was all find, unfortunately today I received a nil award for my Universal Credit payment as I have recently started a new job and with the final pay of the old and the new, I was in receipt of too much in wages. This will not be a problem from next month (nowhere near!). Will this affect the broadband package? In terms of checks, what happens? Do I need to do anything about this?
Clearly, this is a one-off and I will be in receipt of Universal Credit with an amount as usual after this period.
Thanks for any help in advance.
