Hi @jamesbeiroa and welcome to the community.
Sorry they're giving you the run around there. They're currently moving people who were on ESA onto UC, so that may be where the issue lies. Though if there's been a fair amount of time since you were last on ESA, they may well be asking you to just claim UC. But once you're on, you can ask for a WCA (Work capability assessment) which will start the ball rolling for potentially being found to have limited capability for work.
