Your IP can do another I&E based on projected earnings. If there is insufficient to service the IVA it will fail. If you can continue with the agreed payments it will endure. But, going forward, your IP will need to take a closer interest in your earnings, as they fluctuate, to capture any extra income into the IVA.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

I was self employed throughout my IVA, and, because your income may now fluctuate, you may find that your reviews are calculated based on your most recent annual accounts. If you have a good accountant, these may be able to be, (legally of course) presented in such a way as to disguise any significant increase in net income, so as to minimise the likelihood of increased IVA repayments.
My opinions are just that: Based on my experience and being a self-employed IVA customer.

Yes a good accountant can save you hundreds in payments.
