Hi
     I would imagine this has probably been covered so apologies if going over old ground .   Im 60 and have recently semi retired and took on a small part time job ,    I supplement my wages with a monthly drawdown from my pension , I take out 1400 per month but could take out a fair bit more if I wanted .
i recently did a eligible check for a 0 % transfer card and got refused for them all ,      Out of curiosity I tried again and put my annual income in as earnings and I got accepted for them all,  obviously provisionally ,   Any advice on what my options are ?      Should I go ahead and put my income in as earnings or am I committing a fraud ,    Thanks

    Your pension is your retirement income, so yes you should include it unless something different is specified.
