Moving home, housing benefit and universal credit.

Hi there I'm looking for a little bit of advice. I'm currently looking for a new home. I'm on income related esa, adp and housing benefit. I was wondering if I will be moved to universal credit if I get a new house or do I keep the same benefits. I also get sdp with my esa. I'm currently renting from the council and I'm looking for a new house in the same area.

Thanks

If it's the same area then ESA and HB will continue (ADP isn't affected by a move),
As things stand you will be migrated (if you chose to claim) over to UC by end of March 26 move or no move.
