People's tariff with BG

Options
I was moved from People's energy to British gas in September and was moved to the "people's tariff". On the website it says it's valid until June 2021. 
So do I change to the SVR today or am I on a rate that's for people who moved. Tariff hadn't changed today when I looked.

    This is the current rate for the Eastern region, it has now increased in line with the Ofgem cap from April 1st :

    You are not on the SVT yet as the tariff lasts until June 30th, but the price is the same as the Standard Variable Tariff and you will be moved onto that tariff after your current tariff expires.

    You will have received information from BG some months ago that stated your People's tariff was both variable and guaranteed until June 22, but they have since removed the guaranteed statement saying it was an error.

  • That's what I was wondering. I know they can change it but they haven't yet, so was just wondering I've had nothing saying that it's going to change.
