Disheartened

I applied for the dclinpsy last year, got four interviews and was extremely lucky to get a place. I had to give up the place due to a long-term health condition that meant I wouldn't be able to cope with the traveling as the uni wasn't near me. I re-applied this year but only to the uni in my town which I got an interview last year but didn't get a place. This year I didn't even get to the test stage. I emailed them as I applied via the disability confidence scheme so couldn't understand how I was eligible last year but not this year and was told the only explanation must be my references. I'm now feeling really disheartened is there any point me applying again next year or have I missed my one shot.
