JSA or ESA

Options
Hi wondering if anyone can shed any light on my situation. 

I went to the JC after losing my job for health reasonswhich i told the lady i had the appt with. She told me she would open a claim online then i had to go to get a drs note and claim esa which i did. However, I have received a letter dated 24.10.24 saying i had been awarded JSA which i presume is as a result of the first appt at the JC on 23.10.24

I applied for ESA on  28.10.24. Does this mean the benefit will automatically change?   
Current debt approximately 5000
Goal- Zero debt by mid 2025
Savings in 2026- an emergency fund of 5000
