I would ask the Tribunal to proceed and arrive at its own decision. Indeed, this is precisely what the Tribunal should do in any case. I'd argue the DWP's calculations have been wrong so often, they cannot be relied on and, therefore, it is your calculations that should be accepted.
Depending on the circumstances, I would also consider asking the Tribunal to bar the DWP from any further participation in the proceedings on the grounds that their information / evidence is demonstrably so unreliable, it adds nothing of any value. I would be more likely to consider this approach if the DWP is the party that keeps asking for opportunities to make its corrections and / or adjournments.
