Benefits Advice medical discharge armed forces

I am requesting clear and simple advice on what benefits I am able to claim regarding universal credit, employment support allowance and anything related, and an estimation of how much each should be.
I am being medically discharged from the armed forces. I am sure that there are answers to my questions elsewhere but I am not able to sift through hundreds of topics. I have tried the calculator here but it did not work accurately mixing the week/month entitlements.
I am currently getting PIP at standard rate daily living and higher rate mobility. This is the only benefit I am currently claiming.
I am unsure whether I should claim universal credit, ESA, what type of disability premium if any etc. This is extremely confusing and I am looking for a clear answer given my circumstance and PIP decision.
I only have a few weeks left to sort this out and do not want to apply for the wrong benefits
Many thanks

Hi Mike thank you for your adviceI am still employed by the Armed Forces and my address is still in the barracks. In a few weeks I will be unemployed and homeless so I am currently looking for a place to rent so I would need to apply for housing benefit once I find a place to live.Can you please tell me what is SDP?As it stands in a few weeks I will be unemployed and made homeless by the Armed Forces.This leaves me wondering what I should apply for and if I should apply before or after I have found a new place to live and/or out of the Armed ForcesMany thanks0
