Universal Credit Advances

On Universal Credit there is three different advances. 
They are available at different times and have different eligibility.
The easiest way to query if there is an advance available for you is to call UC direct on 08003285644 and ask the service centre.

All advances from Universal Credit are interest free and usually paid into the bank account in 3 working days.  You can request same day payment if you have immediate need.
