Written question asked by Kim Leadbeater (Labour) on Thursday, 19 October 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 23 October 2023. It was answered by Jeremy Quin (Conservative) on Wednesday, 25 October 2023 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.


Civil Servants: Pay

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he is taking steps to ensure that civil servants who retired before the cost of living payment was made can receive the payment.

Answer

In June 2023, the Cabinet Office published an addendum to the 2023/24 Pay Remit Guidance, allowing organisations in scope flexibility to make a one-off payment worth up to £1,500 for all eligible staff up to and including Grade 6. The criteria for this payment is that individuals must have been in post on 31 March 2023 and still in post at the point a department makes the payment during the 2023/24 pay year. There are no plans to adjust the criteria.
