Annual Income Question

Hello,

I have a question about student finance.

When considering postgraduate loan repayments, please can you advise what is taken into account when calculating your annual income.

I am due to retire soon, and am considering doing a masters course after retirement.

Will the pension payments that I receive be included in my annual income?

Thanks

The Postgraduate Loan isn't income assessed. However you have to be under 60 at the start of your course to be eligible for the course (https://www.gov.uk/masters-loan/eligibility )
