Application for compelling personal reasons

Hi,

I am a mature student age 36 and I have today made an application for finance for compelling personal reasons. I have used a year of finance in the past on a foundation course and therefore do not have the funding to repeat first year.

I failed first year last year due to severe depression, something which I have suffered from for many years but have regrettably never attempted to get help for until this summer during my resits when I eventually broke down.

I have now been to my GP and have registered with my university counselling service which I have found to be a great help so far.

I realise it is unlikely that I will be accepted for compelling personal reasons as despite having obtained a letter of support from my counsellor and from my GP, I did not seek help during the last academic year.

Do you know when I am likely to receive a decision form SFE?

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.

Do you know whether there is any chance whether my compelling personal reasons may still be considered even though I did not seek help for my illness until August? (I regret not seeking help much earlier but it just never seemed like an option).

Thanks
