Unfortunately, you won't qualify for the first payment of £326. This is because you must have been entitled to a payment of UC for an assessment period that ended between 26th April - 25th May and yours ended outside of that timescale. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-paymentWere you claiming any other means tested benefits before claiming UC?

Hello there @Laza thanks for your query
To get the first Cost of Living Payment of £326, you must have been entitled to a payment (or later found to be entitled to a payment) of Universal Credit for an assessment period that ended in the period 26 April 2022 to 25 May 2022.
I'm afraid because your first assessment period ended after the 25th May, that you're not eligible for the payment.
Let me know if that's making sense for you, or if you still have any questions, please do ask.

For tax credits. To get the first Cost of Living Payment of £326, you must have received, or later receive, for any day in the period 26 April 2022 to 25 May 2022:
- a payment of tax credits
- an annual award of at least £26 of tax credits
First payment of £326 will be paid sometime in the Autumn but no dates have been announced yet.
