ESA TO UC so confused was created by Nienna

I am mid transfer from ESA to UC. I had a letter today which reads.. the DWP have advised us that you submitted a new claim for UC on June 23rd.
As UC includes a housing payment you are no longer entitled to HB.
To support you in meeting your rental costs while waiting for your first UC payment, you have been as awarded a transition to UC payment of £202 for the period of June 23 - 6 July. This payment will be paid directly to your account. Your claim for housing benefit will end July 6th.

Where does this leave me in the meantime? Will UC back date rental help to July 7th?
It says on my UC portal thing that I will find out my UC entitlement on July 25th.
Can anyone please offer me any understanding of this. My claim is due to mental health and I’m puzzled.
Thank you for any help!

Hi Nienna

As you submitted your UC claim on 23 June your first Assessment Period ends on the 22 July and your first UC payment is credited on the 29 July. On the 25th July your payment statement will be posted on your account.
The Housing Costs for rent should cover the period from the 7 July.
