Esa and withdrawing from University

Hello,
I'm currently a full time MA student and I'm in receipt of esa and pip. I notified the Dwp of the change and my esa was reduced due to the student postgrad loan.
I've been really really struggling and have missed so many classes and deadlines. This has happened due to my awful anxiety and resulting depression. I also have a Neurological Disorder stemming from
both that brings other issues with it.
I am just wondering, If I officially withdraw from the course, and notify student finance, will my original amount of esa be reinstated?
very unsure what to do.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Welcome to the community, I have moved your post to the Disabled Student Advisor category where I hope @melaniethorley may be able to offer some support.

I would also talk to your personal tutor/supervisor as honestly as you are comfortable with. Your attendance may not be an issue if you can still access the materials, and extenuating circumstance requests are put in place for situations such as this.
I hope this helps
