Hi middlesex90

Welcome to Scope Online.

Lots of information and fun to be be had on this site.

They can 'claw-back' over-payments, but what you might be able to do, is see if you can arrange for over payments to be paid back over time as there is a 'cost of living' crisis. See what they say. Also check the detail of what they are claiming.
