Will incorrect EPC rating affect my eviction case?

I am going to take my tenant to court, I served a notice in December, she has failed to leave, been advised to stay, stopped paying the rent too.
My real concern that’s causing me terrible stress is, I discovered that although I had a valid EPC certificate, it was a F rating, I did not realise at time of letting that it was not correct. A total oversight on my part. Thing is the next EPC certificate states it’s a rating D, and nothing in the property has changed.
Any advice on what consequences this will have in court for me?
Thanks,
Cath

I actually don’t assume anything but
asked questions based on years of experience with EPC’s and although it may not seem much but a rating from ‘F’ to ‘D’ would not be possible unless there had been some work on the property.
Regrettably I concur with your comment about many Assessors …..
