PAID SSP BY EMPLOYER FOR 19 WEEKS AND THEY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE

Hi
I am in a terrible dilemma through no fault of my own. I have been of sick since mid January of this year and my employer was paying me ssp until end of May. I have just received a ssp1 form from my employer stating that from 1st of June my ssp has been stopped and the box they have ticked gives the reason that it is due to my earnings not being high enough before my illness or disability. I have now realised by working out my average earnings that it was £114.73 a week before I was off sick and it needs to be £116.00. I was also still in receipt of my working tax credits through this time and am now worried that I will have to pay the full amount back
If my employer hadn't made this mistake and given me the ssp1 form back in January I would have been on ESA and most probably put in the Support Group as well, due to fibromyalgia spinal stenosis arthritis and depression and other health issues. But now my life is a utterl mess and making all my illnesses worse due to the stress this is causing me. I've had to fill in Pip forms and thankfully I was awarded the standard rate back in April and my first payment will be in my account at the end of this week that was stressful enough as I was originally on low rate DLA.
