UDT was designed to solve a bunch of problems

Are there any problems that (U|T)DT are designed to solve which are not one-shot problems? I apologize if this sounds like a stupid question, but I'm having some difficulty understanding all of the purported problems. Those I understand are one-shot problems like the Prisoner's Dilemma and the Newcomb Problem. Is there anything like the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma for which (E|C)DT is inadequate, but (U|T)DT solves?
