Need a little advice

Hi there, I posted a few days ago about recently recieving a letter from the ESA team outlining what was going to happen next in relation to my claim. In this letter, it states that from the 13th week of my claim, I've been placed into the Support Group (without the need for a medical) and that my money will go up accordingly. I guess you could say I alway like to query things and after checking my award on entitled.co.uk, it would appear that I'm getting more money than expected for someone of my age (I'm 24). The last thing I need or want is to end up in a situation of being overpayed as I don't think I could deal with the stress of it all right now. Entitled.co.uk states that I should receive £155.15 per week in ESA but I'm actually in receipt of £169.20... is that right? I always thought under 25's received a lower rate of benefit? I also receive DLA at LRM/MRC but was told not to worry about it by the support worker and that it doesn't affect anything. Can someone possibly advise me on this and hopefully put my mind at rest? many thanks.
