    Hi @hbrown1987 - & welcome to the community. I'm sorry I can't find anything definitive about an IVA & a PIP backpayment. It does seem to be that they're aware PIP payments can change over time, & it's income to help with your disability.
    It seems you've done all you can do in sending your bank statements off, & it 'may' be considered as disposable income & also an expense. One website says the following:

    'Usually, your PIP income will be discounted in full, as this is how it is treated in bankruptcy and DRO.  PIP is awarded on the basis that it reflects additional support you require, for increased expenses associated with your needs.  As a result, where PIP is included in your income, your creditors will usually allow the same amount to be reflected in your expenses.  

    If you feel that you do not spend all of your PIP on increased expenses due to your condition, a lower amount can be included in your expenditure allowances, however, you must ensure that you have accounted for all of the expenses related to your condition, as this will affect the assessment of your disposable income, and will affect the potential solutions that are identified.'

    @hbrown1987 was you allowed to keep your back pay and pip allowance?

    This is an old thread from August last year and the member hasn't been active since, so you may not get a reply.

    Just thought I would bring this thread back to life.

    I am in an IVA and I have been told by CreditFix that if I receive any PIP or back pay, they will not class it as income as it will be offset as 'adult care' in the annual review.

    Hope that helps.
