HL LISA - First top up of financial year

[CalNaughtonJnr]

I have recently tried to top up my Lifetime ISA with HL via the app, but I get a message saying as it is my first payment of the new financial year, I have to do it via the website.

I have logged in via the website but the 'top up' link seems to start the process of applying for a new LISA - do i need to effectively set it up every year? I can't recall having to do it last time

When I did it there was the details screen (same as when opening), once I'd clicked through that it took me to top up and then added the balance to the account. Mislead me at first too.

You should just be able to add money to the existing account. I have no problem doing so either in app, or website, but I did have a scheduled payment go in on April 6th so it wouldn't be my first contribution this year.

Yes, it looks like you're applying for a whole new ISA. Very confusing but in effect, you do have to apply every year. Just put details in and you get through to topping up.
