If you are in IVA then the PPI will have to be paid across but most IP firms will chase it for you rather than you having to pay any fees.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

It depends on whether you claimed the PPI yourself or if you used a claims company. If you did yourself then there should be no fee (but you may have to pay all the funds to your IP less any allowance for tax on interest). If you used a claim company you will need to pay the fee you agreed (it could be 30% but it depends on the terms you signed).
If the funds go to you you should pay the claims company and then pay the rest to your IP (if requires), if the money goes straight to your IP they should pay the fee as a cost of realisation.

It does depend on a variety of factors but it is high risk to use a PPI company separately from your IVA company.
30% is actually quite low for these companies.
If you were not in an IVA company the general recommendation would be to do it yourself because there should be no need for an intermediary.
IVA companies vary in terms of their approach with PPI with Aperture and Payplan as examples being the extreme opposites.
Unfortunately over the last few years it is an issue that has generated a lot of extra work and uncertainty in terms of getting that all important completion certificate.
IVA started March 2011, Completed March 2016 and certificate issued 11 days after final payment. It was not always easy but then some of the best decisions aren't.
