Foundation not integrated + 1st year retake

Hi all I studied a foundation course at one university then transfer to another university to start my year one of studies, I have passed one module and currently need to resit 2 and currently have 3 to also do at this current time, this happened because I have a lot of personal reasons and mental health problems, as you can see this a sticky situation and feel like I could pass it if I retry the year or even another course, the question is will I able to get funding for this?
Many thanks

Which subject are you studying?

Would you be able to get evidence to prove mental health/personal reasons interfering with your studies this year?

Thanks, so long as you have some personal reasons for doing this you can ask us for an additional year of funding.

If you have any evidence at all you can upload this to your account, along with a letter from yourself explaining what happened. Please see the link below for more details.

Okay so even if I have them two years of study I can still be entitled to 3 years of financial help if I have a good enough reason
