Hi would a change or loss to my housing benefit claim trigger a move onto universal credit from ESA? Thanks

    A loss of housing benefit would not prompt a move to UC. A change, if moving to a different local Authority would prompt a move to UC.

    ..if OP still wanted to claim help with rent and not in supported accommodation (added for completeness).
