You may not be entitled to ESA I will ask @Adrian_Scope to advise on this as there are certain criteria to be eligible
You can serve your notice while being off sick as long as your sick note takes you to the end of your notice period
If you're in your notice period of work, you should still be able to claim sick pay/SSP, if you're entitled to it. Although you might be best speaking to ACAS for advice.
Or are you thinking about claiming ESA?
