    I'm sorry but i don't know what you mean by "UC benefit transfer" do you mean the advance payment?

    That would be the new claim advance, which as Ray correctly advises, you can't apply for another after you receive your first payment.

    There's a budgeting advance available but whether you're entitled will depend on your circumstances.
    you’ll need to have claimed one of these benefits for 6 months or more:
    • Universal Credit
    • means-tested Jobseeker's Allowance,
    • means-tested Employment and Support Allowance
    • Income Support
    • Pension Credit

    You'll also need to have earned less than £2,600 in the 6 months before your application. This figure is £3,600 if you live with a partner.
