My boss promised a base salary raise in Jan and asked if I could wait till April. Then he said I would have to wait till May. Now he is not going to give it to me. Nothing was put in writing, only verbal, but I have a witness. What are my rights please?

Based on what you have told me, your claim would not be barred by the Statute of Frauds, which requires certain agreements to be in writing, but you would still need a witness or some written record of the promise. Otherwise, you have a proof problem. And, you have the big picture problem that you will almost certainly lose your job if you "go legal" on your employer. So, you may want to get another job and/or quit before you raise the claim. The statute of limitations is one year from date of the promise (i.e.you must bring suit before the end of that period.).
