Can my IVA take my sons disability living allowance?
Also can they take my careers allowance if I applied for it, taking into account that my IVA was set up before I started a claim for DLA for my son. Thank u

It will all be counted as income but should be offset against your sons needs and anything you need to have.

Most (but not all) providers will, as Kallis says, offset the DLA allowance against outgoing expenses to care for your son. Some will require an itemised breakdown and some simply offset it as a lump sum (far easier and much more sensible).
Carer's allowance is likely to be treated as more of an income increase, with no offset -- but, this will depend on your IP. They should not take more than half of it, at worst.

Unusual but it is usually offset against your income for his needs.
