The lower going rate applies for your SOC which is now set at £35,800 (£18.36 per hour)

That is the min general threshold for people who were under the skilled worker rules before 4 April 2024, NOT the minimum going rate as per your SOC. There are in fact two minimum requirements: the general threshold and the going rate as per your SOC. For ILR qualification you need to be paid the highest of the two numbers.

You need to understand how the calculations work: indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-minimum- ... l#p2027869
