Yes, you will need to tell DWP that you're homeless and have no fixed abode. They will then give an address for your post to go to, usually c/o the job centre.
One thing to look at first though is if your area is a full Universal Credit area then you won't be able to claim ESA, it will have to be universal credit. You can check what's in your are by putting a postcode in here. https://ucpostcode.entitledto.co.uk/ucdate
Whichever is in your area you will need a regular fit/sick note from your GP to be able to claim both.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thank you for the answer

Apologies for the late reply @kaur - @poppy123456 is exactly right though.
