Yes it was but those on legacy benefits were left worse off than those on UC as the DWP said it was too difficult to give the uplift to those on legacy benefits. There has been a court case on this matter and we are awaiting a judgement.
So as I said those on ESA would miss out on any payment if it was done through UC so not quite as simple as you seem to be making out
