I would advise caution ...... as the issuing bank is a creditor they will be in contact with your IP for the next half a decade and, at any time, might mention the PPI refund --- this could lead to the IVA being failed and the whole lot going down the toilet.
I imagine it was sent direct to you due to the closeness of the IVA start date ( it would have come from a department possibly not yet aware of the IVA proceedings).
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Your PPI will belong to your creditors - you need to speak to your IP.

Some firms allow you to keep the interest, but not all, by any means. And some of those change their minds every now and then. Mine kept it all and I have heard that some promising to allow interest have yet to keep their promises.

IVA requires honesty .... you need to inform your IP and potentially hand the money over. It will go towards your creditors claims and will provide a higher return.
My advice, however tempting it is, is not to hide it!
