When you apply for UC your ESA ends, apart from one final payment known as the run on payment.

Depending on where you were in the ESA payment cycle, the run on payment isn't always for the usual full amount.

You can request an advanced payment from UC, this is a loan and will be deducted from future UC payments until it is repaid.
