Allow multiple segments on this field in messages to cover e.g. visually impaired, elderly.
Add validations to prevent the creation of de-energisation calls for elderly during designated winter months and life support all year.
Add validations to prevent scheduling such a call created earlier for life support or elderly within the designated months.
Use existing correspondence address functionality to facilitate the sending of ESBN correspondence to a carer address where a visually impaired customer requests it of a supplier.

39. Defect Resolution Requests
DRR 0106 Exchanged Meter Ref amendment to provide only for like for like exchanges
Raised by: Retail Market Design Service
Currently Exchanged Meter Reference is provided in the new and removed Meter ID Segments of the 332 and 331 messages even when a physical exchange of Meter has not taken place. E.g. New Connections, Meter Re-configurations.
The purpose of this item is to allow Suppliers to identify which meter has been exchanged for which new meter in the case of like for like exchanges.
A like for like exchange can be defined as the exchange of one meter for another with the same configuration e.g. a Day / Night Meter for a Day / Night Meter.
It is proposed to provide this item only where a like for like meter exchange has taken place. i.e. not for New Connections or where a meter has been re-configured from NQH to QH or where a non like for like exchange has taken place.

40. Change Requests
MCR 0086
Text to be added to MPD 14 to cater for standard Profile Changes.
