I'm afraid not.
The initial guidance from SFE hinted that this would be possible but they've since confirmed that only people on courses that start after August 2016 will be eligible.

If I discontinue my course, having completed less than half of it , and re-apply for September 2016 will I then be eligible for a postgrad loan?

If you leave your current course without a Masters qualification AND start a new different Masters course from scratch (carrying across completed credits makes the course ineligible - it has to be a full Masters and not just a top up from a PGDip or PGCert).
If this is something you're considering then I'd suggest you apply as soon as applications open so that you can get confirmation from SFE that they'd fund you before you withdraw/exit from your current course.

Thanks. The original guidance from SFE was confusing this has cleared things up a lot. I'll have to think carefully about my options.
