    Your bill is not a useful guide as it may contain estimated and catch-up sums so not reliable. If you have not changed usage then it is more likely that the previous usage was an underestimate.

    You should take meter readings once a month every month to keep a record to avoid such confusions.

    Remember that the actual increase in that £37 may just be a third of that - possibly only £12. (That is, an underestimate of £12 that has to be paid, a clawback of that £12, plus a £13 for the increase in prices.)

    (Also the winter was longer last year - one month's extra heating could easily account for the difference.)
