Furlough agency holiday accrual

Hello community. Hope everyone is well.
i am looking for a little advise for my wife. My wife is an agency worker who has been furloughed. After many many weeks of waiting and mixed information, she was paid part March and April furlough pay on 6th May. Today she has been paid May furlough. She received a note on her account regarding holiday pay.
As an agency worker she gets paid a day rate. This includes accrual of holiday as a percentage, this is then deducted from the gross amount and placed into a holiday pot as a £ amount to be requested throughout the year. Her March/April furlough showed a deduction at the correct % for holiday accrual. This month a. One said they were incorrect to deduct hols and have added the previous deduction back into her pay this month. However her holiday pot is showing as zero. I know it was mentioned that holiday will continue to accrue. How does this work for an agency worker? We’re they right to deduct? Should they be claiming furlough amount including hols accrual and splitting the payment to net pay and pot? I don’t think they fully understand the process themselves?
My concern is that when this finalises there will be no holiday accrual going forward.
thanks in advance for any advice 🙏👍🏻
