To qualify for the first £326 your assessment period must end between 26th April - 25th May. Therefore, you don't qualify for the first payment. Were you claiming any other benefits before you claimed UC?

Hello @deegurl and welcome to the community

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

I have moved your query over to our Universal Credit category and edited the title a bit
