The only reason I haven't already contacted them is incase they say it won't be included, then want to take half of it, meaning I will only be able to give the other half to provide for him. Would it be a better idea to say it's part of the divorce settlement, or just try and factor it in to my outgoings.

Only say it is part of the divorce settlement if this is true -- they might well ask to see the papers !
You might be able to factor it into other outgoings (£5 on papers, £20 on petrol ... etc) but these figures would still have to be accepted by the IP and creditors and, if they have already been agreed, such increases are unlikely to be accepted.
When the maintenance payment was agreed with your creditors, was any age limit placed upon it ? If not then I would expect (although these are only my thoughts) them to apply the child benefit rules --- payable until 18 unless the child goes on to approved further education up to age 20.

I kind of assume it's like the child maintenance rules, hence my reluctance to contact them. But if that's what I have to do, it's what I have to do. Thanks for the advice mate, very much appreciated.
