Am I being overpayed ESA?

Hi everyone, hope you're doing ok tonight. I think I've asked a similar question to this but I wasn't able to get a definite answer and now I'm really worried incase I build up an overpayment and I'd like to know if my award for ESA is correct or not because I've checked it on the "Entitled2" calculator and it says for someone my age (just turned 24) I should be receiving £155.15 per week in ESA for the Support Group but in actual fact I'm getting £169.20... is this correct? I also receive DLA at the MRC/LRM but I was told this doesn't affect anything in my claim when I enquired about it before. I'm sorry if this sounds like a silly question but I'm sure you can understand my worries and hopefully someone can put my mind it rest. I don't think I could cope with any problems right now, least of all overpayments.
Thank you and all the best
