Today, you have more experience and a more impressive resume (since you took on more responsibilities at your current position) then you had yesterday, so why not see your pay reflect your improved qualifications?
The standard excuse of it isn't in the budget would come up.

Nonetheless, wondering if you've already had your interview. If so, how'd it go?
That's not a typical merit increase. That kind of raise is a "your job has significantly changed". Raises in general are few and far between for my industry, I am a public servant. Specifically, I am an accountant for a public university.
Interview is Thursday. I have prepped some, but I have two exams between now and then, so...
