Nationwide APS

Ive inherited a Nationwide isa from my husband. - Thought I understood the rules until I read their warning paragraph
"You can only pay into one cash ISA in each tax year. If you’ve already opened a cash ISA in the current tax year with another ISA provider, you’ll need to transfer the ISA to Nationwide before you can use your inherited ISA allowance with us. Alternatively, you can wait until the new tax year to open your ISA for your inherited ISA allowance. Please bear in mind that if you do wait until the next tax year, you will not be able to subscribe to another cash ISA with another provider in the same tax year"
(Id already opened a 1yr fix with Skipton for this tax yr)
My understanding from the couple Ive already done, was that the APS ISA was pretty much a stand alone additional one and you could have it running alongside any isa that you have already opened in the tax yr regardless of what bank or bs it was with? Id wanted to just leave this APS ISA with NW for a while , then transfer/add it to an ordinary maturing ISA later .
DoI have to move my APS isa elsewhere if I dont want to move my fixed rate ISA or am I misinterpreting the paragraph?

Sorry for your loss.Have a read here, from NW.1

The statement that you can only pay into one cash ISA per tax year is out of date. There is no issue with this since the rules changed back in April.1
