0T M1 tax code

I live in Scotland and have just retired (31st March),  have received my final payslip and P45. I am still due 1 days pay which I have been told will have to be paid in the new tax year with a 0T M1 tax code. 
I am also in the process of sending in my forms for payment of a DB pension which will have 30 months arrears (I'm 62 and this was payable from 60 and confirmed by my old company pension dept). Will this 1 days pay be worthwhile claiming or will it confuse matters regarding tax between the 1 day wage and my pension back pay.
Just to confuse things even more I have a small civil service pension currently being taxed at SBR.

    Of course it is worth claiming the 1 days pay.  Whatever the tax, you will have more than if you don't claim.
