    There are two things firstly do you get SDP added on to your ESA? if so you can't change to UC. You are probably best staying where you are and waiting for managed migration if it ever happens, as you will get transitional relief. UC may well pay £20 a week extra but that's only for another 10 months.
    Having said all that to give better advice we would need more details, or you could always speak to CAB or welfare rights.
    my advice is given freely and is correct to the best of my knowledge.
