ESA and UC get paid separately on their respective dates. Also the amount will make up the same as you were on before, i.e. the ESA amount will be deducted from the UC amount you will get.

Neither of those days are bank holidays, so you'll receive both payments on those days.

However, I'd be cautious, since e.g. BACS accounts processing needs to account for non-processing days, so it could be either quite late on the 27th, or in fact on the 24th:
