Usually you get to keep up to 6 months take home salary from redundancy money to live on and make IVA payments as usual while you are looking for work. If you get a new job before the 6 months is used up you are expected to pay back to the IVA whatever is left of the redundancy money you were allowed to keep, although I am sure that some IP's do not bother.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
