Access to HE and Advanced Learner Loans

I am looking to do an Access to HE prior to going on to university (either science, psychology or business). I have been out of the studying game for several years and feel rusty getting back into studying. I have never applied for an advanced learner loan before from Student Finance England and never applied for a Higher Education funding from Student Finance England.Is it true that previous qualifications obtained does not prevent me from successfully applying for and obtaining my first Advanced Learner Loan for an Access to HE i.e science, business, health studies etc. Can I also have my first advanced Learner loan paid off if I already have an Access to HE qualification awarded back in 2003/4.I already completed an Access to HE in Health in 2003 (self funded) and was awarded a Diploma of Higher Education in Health Care Studies in 2007 (NHS funded). I passed my GCSE's Maths and english in 2014.
