No, i was on sick and only went back to work full time this week

Scott, are you in any union at work? Please consult them because they are not allowed to take everything back in one go. They aren't a bank and I hope you have kept copies, dates etc, etc, as to when you wrote to them.
Furthermore, you have every right to admit the claim and work with them to discuss a reasonable payment plan to return the money as you are now working full time.
