Student Finance application

We are currently about to reapply for our daughter's Student finance. This will be her third and final year in university. The past two years we've applied with no problems. Both myself and my wife have come to fill in our details but for some reason we can't find both our P60s information. 
Can I just phone DWP and request the information to be resent or can I work it out via banking for that year? 
My wife is/was working and I'm claiming Universal Credits (income related)
Thank you.

    If you need total income then you can get that from the last payslip or you could get it from banking.

    Thank you. Does that include UC? I'm never sure if it's classed as income that is included. I vaguely remember that when I was claiming Incapacity Benefit my P60 in April classed my income as £0 despite recieving the money

    As the payment into teh bank will be less tax it will not be correct.

    You can go into your personal tax account and check for your year's income.
