Need some Advice with grants please :(

Would be extremely greatfull for some advice please (actually having a bit of panic :( )
I am currently being reassessed for SF due to my partner moving with me 2 weeks into starting my course. My Grant and loan entitled went from being: (I was still to be assessed for CCG)
Loan: £5998
Grant: 3250
PLA: 1508

to just a loan and NO grants
Loan: 3875

Which is a considerable drop.
I rang them up and they said that I didn't send in a Pff1. But whilst I was on the phone to them they saw that it was sent in months ago, along with a years worth of my partners bank statements, child maintenance payments, insurance policies, p60, pay slips.. THE LOT!
So they have sent it back the reassessment team again and keep telling me to ring back each time they give me a date to ring them. I am at my whits end. I am not too sure if I can afford to go to Uni amymore. I was wondering if you could give me a rough idea of entitlements please? I am being assessed for a loan, grant, adults dependents grant, childcare grant and PLA

We have one child. and my partner has a child that does not live with us. But he pays towards.

Yearly income before tax: 25,250
Tax credits: 0
Childbenefit: 1055.6

Out goings
Rent: 450pm
Car insurance: 114pm
Life insurance: 8pm
Council Tax: 85pm
Child maintenance: 150pm
Pension contribution: 175pm
Childcare: 608pm
Car finance: 181pm

I am soo worried that I will not be able to continue my degree :(
