Is my Save to Buy USA still valid for the the government cashback scheme?

So my husband and I opened a save to buy ISA each in 2015. We are now in the process of finally buying our first home only to be told it's now help to buy ISA for the government scheme! We can close the save to buy and open a help to buy but can only put so much in per month which will take way too long. Furious is an understatement .. I have heard it may still be valid as originally it was a save to buy .. help to buy was not even around at that point but both are intended for the same thing.. for every £200 saved the government would put £50 towards the deposit. I have searched all over the internet for answers and even questioned it with nationwide.. the lady didn't have a clue with the save to buy so just wondering if anyone can shine some light on this situation? Thanku
