Pay uplift in DWP for SEO grade

Hi everyone,

I'm just in the process of moving to DWP from DHSC. I just got my new terms and conditions and my DWP salary includes the 3.25% pay uplift. Pay in advert was £48,468 and in my new terms and conditions it's £50,044.

Does that mean the 3.25% pay uplift has been agreed with trade unions in DWP for the SEO grade? And will it be given in September pay?

In DHSC, we had an update saying that the offer to trade unions is 3.25% for SEOs, plus 0.3% for all colleagues below the midpoint of their grade. Hence, I was expecting 3.55% and wanted to confirm that DWP are not offering the same? Anyone in DWP know?

Thanks all!
