Migration from ESA to UC AGAIN

My Daughter was on income related ESA and I have now had a letter saying she is moving to new style Contribution based   ESA. Is this normal she's not worked a day in her life
She was in support group ESA and now confirmed will. Limited capability to work on UC
I have seen that UC take every penny you get from the ESA is there any advantages or disadvantages claiming both?
Lots of mixed ideas and the usual AI dribble on he net lol.
After all my previous hassles proving identity with UC. I have now had another letter saying my daughter's ESA is moving to new style ESA. And will be expected to attend an interview which I can't do.
