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.
