    If you have a chapter 13 and have access to more money, then basically you have not told all of the truth to the bankruptcy court, since a chapter 13 is a budget ( fairly tight) that lasts several years to allow you to pay off debts, many at a percentage of the value. So if you have the ability to pay off more, then the plan would have to be re-written to allow larger payments to the plan, thus allowing the unsecured debtors to receive more money.
