Is depression, anxiety & ADD a valid reason to get years back?

Long story short i've used two years of my funding from SFE because I was suffering from depression, anxiety and ADD and didn't know about it during my time at university (I thought I was just being lazy).

I'm going to therapy and getting help for it and I really want to do a degree but obviously can't fund it myself. Is this depression, anxiety & ADD enough to get a year back of funding?

Also, how do I get in contact with SFE to sort it out?
Hello GivenToTheWildd

You may be able to apply under Compelling Personal Reasons.

A letter should be sent to Student Finance England detailing the compelling personal reasons & evidence of this should also be provided.
Evidence may include:

Letter from your GP
Letter from your College/University
Letter from Social Services
Letter from Clergy or professional person

The letters must be detailed around the reasons for your application for Compelling Personal Reasons, must include dates & also how this affected you in your daily activities.

Our assessment team will look into this & provide you with an answer within around 4-5 weeks from the date we receive this.
