Rectifiying overpayment?

flay

Hey Im fairly sure I recieved a over payment of rent allowance I am no longer on it since I am back working). Is the overpayment due back to the department of social welfare or the hse?

To elaborate it was actually my ex landlord who has still been getting rent allowance payments. I had told social welfare about my change of address and they cut the rent allowance however the landlord has kept several weeks worth of rent (I have proof).
The landlord stated that he recived a letter from the social about the over payment and is paying it back. Another tenant of his is telling me he is still recieving payments and is lieing about the letter. As I said I have proof but which department do I go through social welfare or the hse?
