Deferring a year

L

So I have my Ph.D place all sorted and I even have EPSRC funding, due to start in about a months time but a lot of stuff has come up recently, and ideally I'd like to defer a year and start next year. Does anyone know if this kind of thing is even possible, i.e. would I be able to defer my start date a year and still get my EPSRC funding the year after?

Cheers
