Hi Tracy and welcome.

You are normally allowed to keep up to six months worth of any money until you find another job then anything left over will have to go to your IVA.

You do need to speak to your IP though for advice relevant to your IVA. They'll advise as to what to do.

My pleasure. Depending upon how much your lump sum is then you could ask they they hold a variation meeting to accept this money as a full and final.

Which company are you with?
