Theres nothing you can do but explain why you didnt inform them, you will have to pay the overpayments and theres no getting away from that.0

How long were you off work ?
iI its less than 26 weeks, and your were getting SSP then your were classed as still being employed and there will be no overpayment - in fact you may even have been entitled to more HB.0 -
