If your retirement involves living of savings/DC pot then make sure you open up all the bank/saving accounts before you finish work.
Financial institutions are poor when considering these as income hence you may be viewed as having no income.

[FONT=&quot]That hasn't been my experience. I'm living off savings / DC pot and have opened a TSB and two Tesco current accounts since I retired. I put my occupation as retired and my income as roughly what I'm transferring annually into my "active" current account.

The biggest problem I’ve had was acting as a guarantor for my student son's rental. The company doing the vetting couldn't deal with the way that I give myself an "income" and I ended up having to (reluctantly) supply 12 months of bank statements and then talk them through the transfers in that were my "income".[/FONT]

Planning a bonfire in the garden with all my work clothes the day after I go!!
