UNIVERSAL CREDIT & SURE START

my baby boy was born at 24+3.

I’m on universal credit… I messaged them to let them know he’d been born and was told it wouldn’t effect my payment for up to 6 payments but I need to add him to my claim. What does this mean?

Also I was told to claim the £500 sure-start grant. How do I do this when he’s premature?? I’m currently in hull royal infirmary. Hopefully it won’t be too long before space opens up in Leeds and he’s well enough to move. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
