Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "enclosed"?
If you have sent this additional information to the DWP then I don't think you need to do anything more until they respond, if you haven't then you need to send it in with a covering letter explaining the problem.

I meant I had enclosed some further information in this post, that was not in my original post, so you had to do your best to work out the figures.
Today, I found last years pension statement by my employer, giving the pre tax pension annual rate for the year 2014/1015 and I thought it might help you work out, whether I stilll need to see the DWP
Below is what I wrote, sorry for the confusion re my use of the word 'enclosed', all info sent off to DWP, I just dont know where they got the £544.94 a month figure, on the letter requesting my pension info dated 3rd May 2016. Below is what I posted, to save you time in going back a page.
"I have enclosed some new information, my employers pension statement from the year before with pre-tax figures. (The annual figures on the employers pension statement are always pre-tax)
Before April 2015 It said I was getting £6461.69 (pre tax, when the allowance was £10,600
It showed I would be getting £6539.23 from April 2015 onwards, again, pre-tax, and as mentioned above, has not changed this year."
Am I being overpaid ESA?
thanks

I'm afraid I cannot tell you if your are being under paid your ESA, I can explain how the calculation is made, but we cannot provide detailed financial advice on the forum.
From your posts, the DWP appear to be using different figures from those that you have sent them, I would recommend that you query this.

To be honest though, I would only want to go to the CAB if I was being overpaid ESA, because even though you said it would not spark an assessment, i dont mind being underpaid a few quid a month.

£6,539.23 / 12 = £544.94
