Housing & Council Tax Overpayment :(

$

I just had a review of my benefits and ive got a benefit overpayment of around £725 rent and £275 council tax
When i moved into my flat around 18 months ago and started claiming, i took in all paperwork, wage slips etc. It seems I must have earned less that month than my usual wage so have an overpayment

Bit in shock at the amount and how ill have to pay it back!
At the moment they want £11 p/w extra rent plus around £35 p/m council tax

Is there any online benefit calculator where I can input my details to work out if this amount I owe is right... not that im doubting them or anything

I currently work 16 hours a week, get WTC (Think theres disability premium in there too) and DLA - High Mobility and Low Care


When I moved into my flat my rent was £101 p/w and now its £111 (went up in september) plus now my new rates have 14% extra too because of the bedroom tax so its hard to work out whats right it not... (and if the amount of my rent effects the overpayment... want to check they had £101 before now £111) etc

Thanks
