Annuity or drawdown seem to be the standard options.
I was thinking, why not just have income generated by pension pot investments paid out to the pension owner as they arise?
This is so obviously straightforward that there must be a big problem with it.
Any thoughts ?

Re: Why no option to withdraw income from pension funds ?
Pension drawdown is like salary, each transaction generating tax payment to HMRC, production of a payslip etc. If it's in the form of a UFPLS payment then even more paperwork is required.
If you have multiple income events every month then the costs associated with this could make it unviable.
I get the effect of this by having built up a relatively small pool of cash in my SIPP and take a fixed monthly payment. UFPLS as it happens.

Re: Why no option to withdraw income from pension funds ?
Thanks. Thus, the pension holding company send any tax due direct to HMRC and planned amounts are easier for everyone to deal with.
The pensioner receives the post-tax residue.
The method that you are using is a variation that permits planned amounts to be paid out. That could be interesting for me if possible on a "Stakeholder Pension".
