Hi Gail,
Everybody is being migrated to UC I believe, so this will be the only option. The government website reports the following:
In March 2025, the UK government is moving people from legacy benefits, including income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), to Universal Credit (UC) through a "managed migration" process, with the DWP notifying claimants to make the move by December 2025.
