student finance

i have studyed before both my grandads died and a close family friend. the first grandad of a sudden heart attack another with lung cancer. the family friend my grandmas partner of a stroke. i was very depressed and it affected my sleep i wasnt in a the right place to go into uni. when i applied for my loan they said they wouldnt pay for the first year. so they asked for proof which i sent. then they paid for the first year. for my secord year they wanted a cover letter explaining about what happened which i sent 2 weeks ago. have to wait for a month to six weeks to know what will happen. today i had a letter saying they will pay me a maintence loan but not my fees. that money would pay my fees. plus i have set money aside out of my loan. is there anything i can do to get a loan for my uni fees. was thnking of trying to get death certificates to proof it. plus i was told over the phone they will pay 3 years and a repeat year. i am very stressed out and worried
