Help to Buy. Is bonus pay acceptable anymore?

hopefulmover

Can anyone help who recently submitted a help to buy application within the last month or so?
Does anyone know if help to buy accepts bonus pay anymore?

i played with the sustainability spreadsheet and can see that any bonus amount is halved for the sustainability calculation. 

But in light of covid, do they actually take bonus anymore??

Jumping on this, I know some lenders have stopped taking into account bonus/overtime unless NHS, are HtB agents still accepting NHS unsocial pay/overtime? 

I’m sure I saw something saying that from March/April they weren’t Including any additional pay but I can’t remember if was just in relation to people who had been on the furlough scheme or for anyone and I can’t find where I read it anywhere.

This is the key bit I think. I agree. It’s unclear. 

Im not furloughed. I still expect a decent bonus next year. Our business has not been negatively impacted - we are busier!

I contacted local help to buy agent by email. Will post their reply. 
If anyone else in the meantime knows for sure please post any guidance :-)

I heard back from help to buy. 
Bonus is still acceptable.
