Yes they do see link https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/contact-us/help-to-claim/

If all of your ESA is Income Related then this will stop 2 weeks after you claim UC. Same applies to housing benefit, unless you’re either living in temporary or supported housing. 

If any part of your ESA is contributions based this will continue as normal. It will transfer automatically to New style ESA and you won’t even realise. 

Council Tax reduction will continue to be paid from your local Authority but it maybe recalculated based on your UC entitlement. As all LAs have their own rules I will not be able to advise with that.

Thank you poppy for your reply

No problem. When the time comes if you need advice I’d be happy to give that. I’ve got knowledge and experience with claiming UC so any questions please do ask.
