This is a very grey area - there don't appear to be any set rules. I have been allowed to keep paying into my pension scheme, but I know others on here have been told to suspend their payments.
Sorry I can't give you any better advice, but I think it all depends on your creditors and your IP.

Skippy is correct. You may be asked to suspend your pension payments during the term of your IVA to maximise the amount you pay your creditors. However, it seems fairly "hit and miss" as to whether the creditors will enforce this or not.

I always look at people's ages. I would be more inclined to allow pension payments for someone in their 40's rather than in their 20's. On this basis, the younger people could make up for the loss of unpaid pension contributions when their IVA is concluded on the basis that all of that disposable income is available to them.
Ultimately it is the creditors decision though at the end of the day.
