Biglittlebean 3rd Gear January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Was planning to get a 5-room BTO this year as my current flat will MOP soon. Was thinking that the new income ceiling came in just nice... until my boss just suddenly gave a pay increment which puts my wife and me just a couple of hundred of dollars over the salary ceiling for BTO. Can I still appeal and has anyone in my circumstances successfully appealed to HDB before? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infohigh 1st Gear January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Please don't fight with poor people like me for a unit in bidadari..... Go apply your ec... Hehehhe You can try this route. 1) Get a letter from your MP 2) Submit appeal to HDB via their regular support channel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrier 1st Gear January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Why go through all the hassle writing to HDB, MP, blar blar? Just have a talk with your HR or boss to postpone your increment. Unless your definition of nearing MOP is 12 months down the road. On a more sane note, you can write in to HDB to appeal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I still appeal and has anyone in my circumstances successfully appealed to HDB before?You have a nice problem which many of us would be happy to swap with you haha!Seriously though, I believe you should have reasonable chance of success through an appeal as the increment just took effect only but as some bros mentioned perhaps lodging appeal through MP would stand a better chance I guess, good luck!!

Can I still appeal and has anyone in my circumstances successfully appealed to HDB before? Appeal, i did. Went to meet the people session and got a letter from the MP. I dont know why you prefer the bto over the ec. Ec is sure make money purchase It's quite a lot of $ difference. My BIL bought a EC in woodlands, that's like high 700k. my equivalent flat is 320k.

Just ask your boss to delay the pay rise until you buy your new place. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
