HB and ESA

Am a full-time disabled student in my final year of university. Receive low rate DLA mobility and care. Because I'm a disabled student, I get housing benefit for my 1 bed flat, but only get the bedsit amount.
I've just been given ESA.
Will now receiving ESA mean I can claim the 1 bedroom flat amount of housing benefit rather than the bedsit amount, or does ESA have no impact on this?
Thanks!

No, only DLA MRC/ HRC will entitle you to the higher rate of LHA.0
