"I will start my final year at a university in September, and have been working the last year on my deferred year - I have completed my first two years.
During my work I have saved up some money to pay for my final year, so I hopefully wont need a loan. Can I still apply for the Higher Education Grant only, and not the loan as well, because this would give me just enough money for the year. The household income is below 16500 too."
You have a good start! Try applying for grants for education before applying for loans - there are state and federal grants out there to help students pay for school and living expenses.
