DWP: Win an iPad by updating your details
Last chance for DWP members to win an iPad and other prizes by updating their details on PCS Digital.
From 5 January to 16 February, DWP members will be asked in a statutory ballot if they are willing to take strike action over pay, after receiving an insulting pay offer.
One way DWP members can do their bit is by updating their details on PCS Digital by 19 December.
Not only will this guarantee that they receive a ballot paper that will allow them to vote, sending a message that they deserve fair pay. It will also enter them into a PCS Christmas prize draw.
DWP members who update or confirm their details before 19 December will automatically enter the draw, where they can win an iPad, a fireside Christmas hamper and various cash prizes (1 x £200, 1 x £100, 2 x £50).
All across the DWP, activists and branches are now busy speaking to members about the importance of the ballot: running workplace recruitment stalls, organising members' meetings and leafleting outside of workplaces.
The DWP has refused to use the pay remit guidance to ask for more money. The Treasury permitted up to 3.75% average pay increases, but the DWP used the 0.5% additional funding to prioritise SEO, Grade 7 and specialist pay.
The DWP has also refused to submit a pay flexibility case. And for the fourth successive year, AAs and AOs will find themselves on the National Living Wage come April 2026, joined now by EOs that opted out of the Employee Deal.
DWP members and their families deserve better.
As well as updating their details on PCS Digital to enter the prize draw, members can get more involved in two other ways:
- Join PCS if you are not already a member. If you are, talk to your colleagues to encourage them to join, as every new member strengthens our collective voice.
- Become a PCS Advocate by asking your local rep how you can help deliver the pay rise you and your colleagues deserve.
