Salary was the same in 2019. Same as today. No change
You said in your first post that you "Not had pay increase in over ten years"? Not even in line with inflation. It seems crazy that you would go from a well paid job (at the time) to national minimum wage over 10 years without an increase (or challenging it).
Indeed.
There is of course no legal right to a pay rise unless your pay would fall below the NMW. So it was entirely a matter for negotiation. Presumably the OP didn't ask so she didn't get!
It is very unlikely the firm will be willing to backdate any rise but now, with increasing inflation (and particularly energy prices) may be a good time to ask. Also, if the OP doesn't want to move jobs, for whatever reason, at the very least see what alternatives are out there that she may reasonably get, should she choose to apply.
