ESA award pip and savings

kia18

Hi please can someone give me advice i am in the esa support group and have just had a pip assessment and been awarded more help with pip a month so i am now getting £549 a month plus £318 esa every 2 weeks i have £5350 of savings which wasn't an issue before my pip went up dramatically then esa rates went up too as i wasn't over £6000 limit now im very anxious and confused as i don't know if pip mixed with savings is allowed esa even contacted me saying i should apply for severe disability premium because of pip but then i had my savings in october before this happened so i just don't know if im allowed this new rate of pip and with the savings mixed pip i know dosent affect esa in its self and the savings didn't but now with me getting higher rates more help and pip and savings mixed im anxious stressed confused and i struggle to work out money and understand things.This all happened from april this year so im worried ive done something wrong.
