IVA Annual Review- Help needed

I have been in an IVA since November 08, and my recent annual review showed me having a monthly income/expenditure defecit of £300.
I currently pay £271 per month to my IVA, and they have told me that since Nov 08, my property, which I gave up the keys for, sold for a defecit of £15k.
Therefore the amount I was paying covered 67p per £1 of my debt, it is now only 31p per £1.
My DMC want to extend my arrangement by at least 12 months, which I explained with the current defecit, I probably couldn't afford and I am considering registering for bankruptcy.
I have no assets, property or savings, and have a £300 banger of a car.
I lost my job in the last year, and now work for considerably less hence the income/expenditure defecit.I work for a Constabulary as staff, can I be sacked for going bankrupt?Can bankruptcy take my previous earned pension as an asset?
Do any of the members think bankruptcy would now be my best option.?
Thanks for any advice..
