Hi shez and welcome to the forum
I am not clear why your IP feels that you have disposable income which you say you have not. Please get them to confirm their calculations so that you can confirm them with your own figures, and then arrange for a chat with your IP so that you can discuss the nature of any variances.

I guess this highlights the need to find a good firm to act for you from the outset of the process. IVAs are not just about getting acceptance at creditors meetings, but sustaining a good working relationship throughout the process. If you don't agree with their assessment, tell them you will refer the matter to court. District Judges are quite sympathetic to the needs of individuals with regard to expenditure, and if you win you can claim costs against the IP.
