It may be too late if you have already made a claim for UC but I would check whether you would be better off adding Income Related ESA to your existing award, put your information into one of the online benefit calculators.
www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators
If you stay on UC then neither your ESA(CB) or PIP will be affected, however, the ESA (not the PIP) will be treated as Other Income and deducted £ for £ from your UC.

Providing you are receiving what is now called legacy ESA and not New Style ESA then you may be able to add an Income Related ESA component to your existing ESA(CB).
Use one of the calculators in the link that I posted previously to see whether you are eligible and what for.
You can only claim CA against someone else's award of DLA or PIP not your own.
