Citizens' Advice Scotland calls for the ' five-week wait' for universal credit payments to be scrapped.
Brian Closs , 55 , has to wait more than a month for his new payment.
He is one of 1.8 million people across the UK - 9% of those in Scotland - who are being asked to claim universal credit.
The DWP said the rule change meant 180,000 people would have to earn more.
Sarahjane Cassidy , who lives in Johnstone with her partner and two sons, received her migration notice two weeks ago .
She said: "It is quite worrying because what you're supposed to do without any money for five weeks , it's obviously going to be a real struggle" DWP said it is committed to reviewing universal credit so it tackles poverty and makes work pay.
