You will be no financially better off by claiming New-Style ESA. Have you worked in the last 2 years? Receiving PIP does not change anything.

As advised, you won't be financially better off claiming New style ESA. However, it would still be worth claming it because it's not means tested like UC is and you also receive class NI credits but with UC you only receive class 2. If you've paid the correct amount of NI contributions in tax years 2020/21-2021/22 then you can claim.
