Hi. I stopped nursing halfway cause of health issues. I would like to start bcs degree in herbal medicine at Lincoln college. Will it be accepted as health allied course? Or do I have to go through exceptional reasons as hunt my old doctors for letters?

I very much doubt herbal medicine qualifies as an AHP course, but you can ask an SFE adviser to confirm this on the following forum. Don't forget to give your uni name and course and then they can check the database:

Hello, I was studying health and wellbeing at DMU only did one year - then public health at Leeds Beckett had to leave due to personal issues didn’t finish the year - then moved to MMU and applied for nursing associate two year course only did a year and some months due to SFE not paying for my tuition as I had used up all my funding. I really want to go back to university if I chose any of these health course will I still be eligible SF and maintenance loan too?

Nursing degrees (three years) are on SFE's exceptions list so you should be eligible for both maintenance and tuition fee loans. I don't think health and wellbing or public health would be eligible but if you have a specific course in mind post on the Ask SFE forum with details of the course and uni.
