It's not that straight forward.

Student finance England, will only finance a course which takes you to a level above what you currently hold. To get the third year of finance the OP would have to be studying for the BSc.

My sister had an HND and tried to get finance for a 'top up year' - she couldn't.

She decided to retrain and is now studying for a BA where she gets full funding for 4 years [Scottish University.]

That doesn't make any sense. You shouldn't have any problem getting funding to top up an HND or Dip HE to a degree, whereas getting it for a 4 year degree on top of the funding for an HND shouldn't be possible.
