    UC is based on your circumstances on the last day of each assessment period. Confused about your question here.

    If you received your UC payment last Friday then you won't receive another tomorrow. UC is a monthly benefit, unless you receive your payment twice a month but even then you won't receive a payment tomorrow if you received it last Friday.

    Yes, you will receive the CoL payment because you were entitled to a payment of UC during the qualifying period.
