Help with Student Finance after dropping out due to mental health issues

Heyy so I did 2 years of a modern language degree but had to drop out due to severe anxiety and depression so wasn't able to go on my year abroad. I decided to drop out but want to go back to university to do an engineering course (3 years).
I was wondering if I would still be able to get funding for the first year of the course through CPR?
Also does a modern language degree count as a 4 year course as it included a year abroad so I actually get 5 years funding (4 years + 1 gift year)
Any help would be appreciated.

It's the length of the new course that counts for funding entitlement calculations, not the course you withdrew from. So your calculation would be:
Length of new courses + 1 year - previous study = 3 + 1 - 2 = 2 years.
If you have evidence of your health issues that caused you to withdraw, then you will be able to apply for CPR:
Examples of evidence you can send to prove these personal reasons include:

Thank you ! How likely do you think it is that my CPR will be approved given that I uploaded the documents only a few weeks ago (I was not aware I had to upload them).
Also, if the funding doesn't get approved, am I still eligible for the maintenance loan?
