Financial requirements, interesting query.

Thinking here, there's more than one way of confirming your annual salary of course. Yes one method they use is to take 6 months and make that up to an "in theory" 12, however the other way is to state you are using as evidence pay in the last 12 month period.
For that, I think you provide 12 months worth of payslips (Yes it's every 28 days, but use 12 calendar months and I'm certain this would be fine, and if not, then it clearly says this would not be grounds for refusal, but they would request an extra payslip or two), along with your P60 which although not essential, can't do any harm (As long as its over £18,600), and this way you should meet the requirement.

I don't think they use the last 6 months wageslips to make some sort of projected income, if you are submitting slips for the last years earnings option.

Unfortunately, thus far, these strategies have led only to refusals.
Despite rights and wrongs and logics, UKBA have been stubbornly adhering to the letter of the current law.

Anyone who does not fully understand the requirements for full compliance or believes they may be marginal on the income side (especially concerning wage slip details) should seek experienced advice before spending money on a risky application.

Changes on the cards for December implementation may offer less complex requirements and much needed caseworker flexibility.
Let's hope so anyway.
