    ESA is an open ended benefit so don't be suprised if your review is defered.
    PIP is not "an instead" of benefit and is awarded for different reasons than ESA

    ESA is for people unable to work because of illness or disability
    PIP is for people that require help with daily living or mobility
    You can qualify for either or both, you can also receive a PIP award even if you work full time

    ESA has two components.
    Contribution based depending on NI contributions
    Income related which is means tested

    A claim can be made up of either or both

    Here is the gov link to ESA

    https://www.gov.uk/employment-support-allowance

    There is some mythical ammount that the law says you need to live on, this is your assessed ammount and depends on individual circumstances
    It might be a good idea to get f2f advice from CAB or similar
