moving home

hi i have been offered a bugalow at last by the council i am to sign up and get the keys monday.I am on E.S.A. support and pip standerd rate for both.I am really feeling ill since my friend told me that where i have let my pip and E.S.A build up to pay for my funeral cost and put money aside for my home move i have gone over 6000.limit and as a result will go as an overpayment.I had 4000.in my bank account for the right prepaid funeral plan.Which i paid 3000 out of recently after finally finding the right one.But also had a regular amount transferred to savings account ready for my move as i need every thing replaced as i am downsizing to a bungalow from a large house.,My savings account of 3000 now has come from my pip award and i understand that they do not count this as income But my friend thinks they do and will stop my housing benefit because of over payment as with my savings and bank account balance took the amount over if they combined the two,She said its best to explain to the situation before i go ahead with the move,But i am in a terrable state now and worried sick that i have tried to be sensible and have now messed everything up.Please help and advise me on this.

What should be a happy time has turned into a nightmare.I have just signed my new tenancy.And got the keys and paid two weeks upfront in rent for the new property and said to them i will transfer my housing benefit to new property on the 12 /11/18 as i can not move in a week.They said i need to fill in a change of circumstance form.I said i am on full housing benefit as i am on E.S.A. i do not have a change in circumstances just a change of address.They said when i do the form it will tell me to claim U.C. Due to change of circumstances. It to do with the 1000 pound money they give me for the extra bedroom i am giving up.I have been in tears the whole way home can i just not fill in the C.O.C form as it will ruin my life going on to U.C PLEASE HELP ME I CANT COPE .All i need is a smaller property for health reasons.I feell like i am being punished.

No its the same L.A i have phoned H.B and they said i was right and i do not have to apply for a new claim.I should take my tenancy agreement new and old and ask for them to scan them and put on to my housing benefit claim.They can then see its a overlap of two weeks or something.But she did the C.O.C for me about the bedroom.Its awful going in and having to explain to them about this.They all said i would have to claim U.C, Its not right to cause such confusion.
