Adding Lag Depended Variable

Hi! I encounter this theoretical problem while working on my model. After performing Box-Jenkins, I decided to choose I(1) model since it outperformed IMA(1,1), ARI(1,1), ARIMA(1,1,1) in terms of SIC. After performing LM test I can clearly see that in my I(1) model first degree autocorellation is present. To correct that I would add a LDV, however I am not sure whether I should differentiate the LDV or not (my dependent variable is in first order differences). Thank you in advance.

The answer would be yes, use the change in your lagged dependent variable. But haven't you already done that in your ARI(1,1) model?

Thank you for your reply. I have done that in my ARI(1,1) model, but since my SIC was lower in I(1) model I decided to work further on with the latter, but then the issue of auto-correlation appeared. I think I will go back to my ARI(1,1), despite the fact that the correlogram does not deliver any significant lags.
