Changing to distance learning already have DSA award

I've been in university f2f and completed my first year of a BSc degree. I've had more bad health and don't feel able to do the rest in class.
If I transfer to distance learning with the OU can I take my maintenance loan with me? I've already had 24/25 approved. I already have a DSA award in place. Thanks

Thank you. I've spoke to SFE and yes as long as my GP completes the medical declaration then I'm entitled to maintenance loan depending on the modules/credits I will be studying
