My partner has been paying money to the DWP for a social fund. He was told he could put the DWP into the IVA. They have now called him and sent threatening letters advising him that if he is on benefits, he cannot put the DWP money into the IVA and it doesn't apply. he has a benefit payment on Monday but the DWP have told him that he won't receive it as they have taken it. Please advise if this is correct.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this question but will keep this bumped up for someone else to reply. Maybe to give your IP a ring would be a good thing too to get the case specific advice needed.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I don't know the official answer but DWP won't usually allow Benefit debt to be included in Bankruptcy so maybe the same applies to an IVA?
