Hi B&W Member ESA
If you wish to close your claim to ESA, write to your local DWP office, or the one that most recently dealt with your award, quoting your National Insurance Number.
You should have a look at the link below as well -

I was on Incapacity Benefit, before I reached State Pension age in 2005. I did not have to close my IB claim, it was done automatically. When I reached 65 years of age, my IB was stopped when I received State Pension.
I'm not up-to-date with ESA, but I'd have thought your ESA will automatically cease
when you qualify for State Pension.
I'd be inclined to contact the Pensions Service Who to contact at The Pension Service
If things have changed in moving from ESA to State Pension, I'm sure someone will correct me.
