    Unfortunately the short and long answer is no, you can only use things like basic pay, overtime, bonuses, commission, some allowances, etc. towards a mortgage.

    Why are you not receiving a P60? 
    Are you sure the income is being declared to the tax man? 

    Payments to cover expenses are exactly that. It is not income, it is being reimbursed.

    Expenses are very unlikely to be on a P60. Just your wages, etc.
