If it's a new claim and you haven't yet received your first payment you can request a new claim advance payment but you'll need to wait until you've had your first job centre appointment. https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/get-an-advance-first-paymentPlease be aware that this will need to be repaid back and will reduce your future payments.
