I would speak to your IVA company, i had similar happen to me right in the middle of my IVA term, and they let me have a 3 month payment holiday! Obviously this added 3 months on to the end of my 5 year term, but really helped me out at the time. Its worth speaking to them.

...get a couple more quotes as well.
If getting a new boiler, they are all about the same in terms of energy efficiency, so try and get one with a 5-7 year warranty (just go with the cheapest big-name make).
Vaillant Boilers are guaranteed for up to 7-Years, Glow-Worm and Worcester Bosch: 5-Years for example.
At least then you have peace of mind until well-after your IVA.
My opinions are just that: Based on my experience and being a self-employed IVA customer.
