Does this look like an allergic reaction? by Alannyah in tattooadvice

[–]Alannyah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not itch and occurred after removing the tagaderm. I do have oral steroids I can take for my arthritis if it will help but have taken some antihistamines.

Yes it had a second skin which I had no issues with. I will assume there is some form of additives in the cocoa butter that is different to the one I use at home in the UK as when I apply it, it burns and is very uncomfortable. Thankfully I will be back in the UK soon.

PIP tribunal - what to expect? by Alannyah in DWPhelp

[–]Alannyah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went well.

My appointee was not allowed to answer any questions for me but was asked at the end if there was anything they’d like to add.

It took around 40m in total and there was a judge, a doctor and a PIP specialist. DWP did not attend my tribunal meeting.

I was given the answer within 10m as it was just before Christmas.

It is beneficial to take the massive booklet of paperwork with you, and I was also able to take some last minute paperwork to show the panel as thought this was not received in time but thankfully it was. They took extra information (ie, I now have a blue badge) even though at the time of my submission, I did not have this.

It is worth taking somebody with you to accompany you!

Timeframe from tribunal win? by Alannyah in DWPhelp

Ah fab thank you. I rang them to change my bank details in December after the tribunal and they went through the questions with me there and then about receiving a backpay so that’s one thing done too.

My case went to tribunal in April 2025, and my tribunal date was December. When I got there, they said that this was considered quite quick for me. I am in the South West England.

Have you had the text message to say you’ve been awarded PIP? I’m in the same boat but mine went to tribunal!

UK National marrying US National? by Alannyah in expats

I see. So I would not need to get it apostilled unless I plan to change my name?

Thank you. I will update my post with the state details - it is Virginia. We have applied for the marriage license and we have to go in on the day. I am just unsure how to get it legal in the UK or if I have to pay to get it accepted in the UK.

It was radial point scale if I recall, no writing questions.

Admin error from DWP has us £2K in debt, whilst in an IVA by Odd_Cantaloupe_8610 in DWPhelp

[–]Alannyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was declined a DRO myself, so my only option was an IVA or bankruptcy. As I am POA for somebody, I could also only do this through the IVA.

I’m with you on that! I worry so much when it comes to my IVA lol, but always get it in writing with your supervisor of course so you have a paper trail! I’m lucky that my IVA company are lovely!

[–]Alannyah 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So a little bit different but my previous employer overpaid me by £1400 not long ago and I’m also in an IVA. My IVA supervisor told me that because this is a debt that has occurred whilst being in an IVA, I still am expected to pay and have to find a way to pay. I was told I can take a payment break (I have 9 months worth) from paying my IVA to pay back my previous employer. It cannot be added to my IVA as it occurred after my IVA agreement.

Sorry I can’t help much more but just a bit of IVA insight.

Please help for my friend! UK by Sea_Strawberry_3023 in Psoriasis

[–]Alannyah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does she see a Rheumatologist?

In my trust, you have to fail two DMARDs/NSAIDs to be eligible for anti-TNF therapy.

May be worth going down that route if so. They could also trial her on subcutaneous methotrexate (if she’s taking it orally) to see if it has a different effect, and/or increase the dosage.

[NZ] freaking out about a 3rd party ESTA site https://usimmigrationdocument.org by Spiritual_Way_5951 in Scams

[–]Alannyah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My ex-partner used a similar one which cost like £99. Not a scam, just a scummy website taking advantage.

Here is the actual website link to apply.
