Thats Great !
I have one more question, for a person who wants to use salary + saving to cover up the salary shortfall. Lets say the person needs a saving of 20K, They had a saving of 23K in their account from January to February 2018 but the amount dropped to 20K in March 2018 and from there onwards till July 2018 the amount has been 20K.
Now can they include January& February (23K in bank) to July as 6 months for the 20k savings ? or they have to start from March where 20K was shown on bank book?

Just checking that you know that the first £16K of savings don't count for income offset purposes? £20K savings only decreases the income retirement to £17,000 pa.
