Change from ESA and pip to uc...

As I'm already on enhanced ESA and high rate pip and my mental health condition is ongoing will I have to start a new claim and will my present circumstances be taken into consideration? I have severe mental health issues with anxiety etc cant leave the house! I live on a boat and need to go into a marina in order to get more help with my condition so need to get housing benefit to pay for mooring hens the change to UC. I'm so stressed as I wont be able to go to interviews as my social anxiety is so bad. Will they come to me? High street not coping very well at the moment.
