As the repayment comes direct from benefits I'm not sure why you would have been told this?
Is most of what you pay to the iva from benefits?

Social fund debts are normally garnered from future payments by way of a reduction on ongoing payments.

I believe that social fund debts can be included but if you go back on benefits the DWP can start again to reclaim the money. Your own IP may have had different advice.
