An iva is decided upon affordability. As long as you have enough disposable income once your priority bills have been paid then an IVA can be proposed.

I'm sure your IP will be putting your best offer forward and wouldn't have accepted you if they didn't think there was a good chance of it being accepted.

Jan is right. Some creditors have a problem with IVAs that are reliant on means tested benefits but affordability is the most important issue and your IP will have addressed that. Good luck with the proposal.

There's nothing to stop a proposal being made where the majority of the income comes from benefits, but of course, it all comes down to affordability.

Good luck!

I absolutely agree. Creditors were happy to lend to you when you were in receipt of benefits, and now the compliment needs to be repaid.
