She is on the standard variable tariff. Ive just seen about the April price cap will this affect her tariff with British Gas?   

Yes, if you look again at the post from QrizB just above yours, you'll see calculations for the change to the cap in April.

Would she be better off changing tariffs then

@QrizB is more familiar with her case than I am, but in general terms, no, the fixed tariffs available now are expensive and there is little to be gained from trying to switch elsewhere as all the standard variable tariffs available to new customers are pretty much the same.

Her best route to reducing costs is to focus on the gas from the looks of things, the usage does seem rather high...

I just did a new quote to switch tariff with BG for her it was £172 a month 😮 her boiler is really old and never works properly the pressure always drops and the landlord is useless 🙄
