Considering a Voluntary Interruption of Studies

hello,
I've been experiencing some pretty severe mental health issues since the start of second year, and my tutor has suggested pausing my degree, taking a year away and then coming back this time next year to resume my degree. I am wondering how this impacts maintenance loans for the rest of my degree. If I do decide to pause, I would be trying to work full time while I am away, but I am still worried about paying rent on the house I will be leaving to go home, and I'm scared that my loans won't restart when I come back.
