It's likely to be the adjustment for the £400 Government grant (to be paid over 6 months at £67/66 per month). There's been a few posts like this, I'd suggest waiting and it should sort itself out.
@Andy65 Thanks for the reply. I looked at my account earlier in the month and it showed my payment was increasing from £170 to £211. When I looked last week, the £67 adjustment had been applied and it showed my payment as £144 a month (£211 - £67). So, I'm not sure what this double payment is about. I'm a bit reluctant to wait and see in case they do actually take both and it might take months to sort!
@JoeSoap Thanks for the reply. I'm not too sure it's before and after the £66 (£67) deduction is applied. See my reply to Andy65: Earlier in September, my new amount had been calculated as £211 (up from £170) but, later in the month, it had been adjusted to take account of the govt. subsidy to £144. So they seem to have already done it once.
@Andy65 Yes, I'm on Next Flex. It seemed to be sorted earlier in the month... first it showed my DD was increasing from £170 to £211. Next time I looked, they'd applied the £67 and it showed my new DD as £144. What's happed since to cause these two amounts, I've no idea!
Thr lower figure has been calculated as your existing DD less the £67 whilst the higher figure is your DD after the price rise but still including your £67 assistance. As you pay your DD on the 15th of the month you will pay £144.61 in October and the same each month until March.
From April your DD will rise to £211.61 as the £67 help will have ended. As always, your DD will be adjusted if you use more or less energy than what has been estimated.
This is how I see it. We will find out for sure soon.
The figure from 01/10/22 is your old/original £170.45 adjusted by the £67 reduction.
However, this then is superseded (from 06/10/22) by your new rate £211.61 adjusted by the £67 reduction.
Mine shows two figures too, but I'm not sure why the 06/10/22 date has crept in, as both the new rate and the rebate/reduction, I would have thought, both take effect 01/10/22
@PaulR and @JoeSoap Thanks both :) Yeah, it's definitely confusing. The image below is a screen shot of my new DD as it first appeared early September. That seems to be where the 06/10/22 comes from. Later in September, the account just showed a single figure of £144.61 but I can't remember what the start date was stated as.
Like yourself, I can't see where the 06 date comes from. Unless it's to give people a few days leeway for meter readings ??
