UC advance payment/Social fund overlap was created by spaceinvader
Hello,

I have finally applied for UC over the telephone (Got the dreaded managed migration letter with the time limit about having to move from legacy benefits ESA support group to UC)

I completed this on Friday and I am having an appointment for an ‘identity check’ this week.

Like most other people on here, I am nervous and stressed out about the whole process.

My question is: I currently have approx £300 outstanding from a social fund loan I received while on ESA and this is being deducted from my ESA and will be finished on the 21/11. Will this impact me from being accepted for a UC advance loan?

Sorry to be so long winded but I hope someone can please help. I don’t want to have to call UC again.

Thanks in advance.

Hi spaceinvader,

You can get an estimate of how much UC advance you are entitled to through the Advances section of your UC account.

Hope this helps,
David
