ESA pays two weeks in arrears.

After claiming UC there is one more payment (known as the run on payment) which doesn't affect your UC award.

If you are paid more than this, too much ESA, (it happens) then that will be deducted from your UC.

so does that mean the 366 will be taken off first payment

Not quite, If you have been paid too much ESA in error then this shouldn't be deducted all at once but a little at a time.
