Mae’r taliad yn rhan o fuddsoddiad o £29m mewn pobl gan Lywodraeth Cymru ac yn cydnabod y caledi ariannol ac emosiynol mae llawer wedi’i wynebu.


Bydd gofalwyr di\-dâl sy’n derbyn Lwfans Gofalwr ar 31 Mawrth eleni yn gymwys ar gyfer y taliad.  

Gofalwr di\-dâl yw rhywun sy’n gofalu am bartner, perthynas neu ffrind sydd â salwch neu anabledd.


Telir Lwfans Gofalwr i bobl sy’n gofalu am o leiaf 35 awr yr wythnos, sy’n gofalu am rywun sy’n derbyn budd\-daliadau penodol ac sy’n ennill dim mwy na £128 yr wythnos.


Bydd y taliad o fudd i filoedd o’r gofalwyr di\-dâl mwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru, sy’n aml yn gofalu am yr hiraf ac ar yr incwm isaf.


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Julie Morgan:



> Mae gofalwyr di\-dâl wedi chwarae rôl ganolog drwy gydol y pandemig ac rydym yn cydnabod y caledi ariannol ac emosiynol a wynebwyd ganddynt.
> 
> 
> Rwy’n gobeithio y bydd y taliad hwn o £500 o ryw gymorth iddynt yn ystod y cyfnod anodd hwn.
> 
> 
> Rydym yn hynod o falch o’n gofalwyr di\-dâl yng Nghymru, y mae llawer ohonynt yn cael trafferth gwneud amser iddynt eu hunain oherwydd eu rôl gofalu, ac rydym yn gobeithio bydd y buddsoddiad hwn o £29 miliwn mewn pobl yn dangos cymaint rydyn ni’n gwerthfawrogi'r hyn maen nhw’n ei wneud.
> 
> 
> Rydym yn deall na fydd pob gofalwr di\-dâl yn gymwys am y taliad hwn, gan nad yw llawer ohonynt yn derbyn Lwfans Gofalwr, a byddwn yn parhau i gefnogi gofalwyr o bob oed ym mhob ffordd y gallwn.


Bydd gofalwyr di\-dâl yn gallu cyflwyno eu cais i awdurdodau lleol yn ddiweddarach eleni. Bydd manylion pellach ar sut a phryd i gofrestru ar gyfer y taliad ar gael yn fuan.


Daw lansiad y taliad ar ôl i arolwg o fwy na 1,500 o ofalwyr di\-dâl ganfod bod bron i hanner wedi gorfod defnyddio eu cynilion personol a rhoi’r gorau i weithio neu astudio i ofalu, tra bu’n rhaid i fwy na hanner roi’r gorau i hobïau neu ddiddordebau personol oherwydd eu rôl gofalu.


Ynghyd ag argyfwng costau byw – a’r ffaith y bydd llawer o’r rheini sydd mewn rôl gofalwr di\-dâl yn gofalu am unigolion ag anghenion cymhleth sydd angen cartrefi cynnes, offer meddygol arbenigol a bwydydd penodol – cydnabyddir y bydd gofalwyr di\-dâl yn wynebu mwy o bwysau ariannol nag eraill.


Y gobaith yw y bydd taliad o £500 yn cyfrannu rhywfaint at leddfu’r pwysau hyn, yn ogystal â chydnabod gwerth eu rôl ofalu dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf i system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol Cymru.


Dywedodd Kate Young, Cadeirydd Cynghrair Cynhalwyr Cymru a Chyfarwyddwr Fforwm Rhieni a Gofalwyr Cymru Gyfan:



> Mae’r Gynghrair yn croesawu’r newyddion y bydd llawer o ofalwyr di\-dâl ledled Cymru yn cael eu cefnogi gan y taliad hwn.
> 
> 
> Mae’n gam cadarnhaol tuag at gydnabod y gofal a’r cymorth cyson y mae gofalwyr di\-dâl bob amser wedi’u rhoi, ac y byddant yn parhau i’w rhoi, yn enwedig o ystyried yr heriau ychwanegol y mae cymaint o deuluoedd wedi’u hwynebu yn ystod y pandemig.


Croesawodd Simon Hatch, Cyfarwyddwr Ymddiriedolaeth Gofalwyr Cymru, y newyddion:



> Mae gofalwyr di\-dâl wedi bod ar y rheng flaen drwy gydol y pandemig ac mae’r taliad hwn yn gydnabyddiaeth o’r oriau lawer o ofal y maent wedi’u rhoi ochr yn ochr ag ymdrechion y gweithlu cyflogedig.
> 
> 
> Dyma’r cam cyntaf tuag at fynd i’r afael â rhai o’r pryderon rydym wedi’u clywed gan ofalwyr di\-dâl ledled Cymru, ers cyn cyfnod y pandemig, am eu brwydrau dyddiol i gael dau ben llinyn ynghyd.


Dywedodd Claire Morgan, Cyfarwyddwr Gofalwyr Cymru:



> Gofalwyr di\-dâl yw trydydd piler hanfodol ein system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru ac fe wnaethant ysgwyddo llawer iawn o straen a chyfrifoldeb yn ystod y pandemig.
> 
> 
> Mae’r taliad hwn o £500 yn gam cyntaf pwysig i gydnabod, mewn ffordd ymarferol, gyfraniad dyddiol gofalwyr i’n cymdeithas ac rydym yn cymeradwyo Llywodraeth Cymru am wneud y taliadau hyn yn uniongyrchol i ofalwyr.

The payment is part of a £29m investment in unpaid carers from the Welsh Government and recognises the financial and emotional hardship many have experienced.


Unpaid carers who are receiving Carer’s Allowance on March 31st this year will be eligible for the payment.


An unpaid carer is someone who cares for a partner, relative or friend who has an illness of disability. Carers Allowance is paid to people caring for at least 35 hours a week, who care for someone receiving certain benefits and who earn no more than £128 a week.  


The payment will benefit thousands of the most vulnerable unpaid carers in Wales, who frequently care for the longest and are on the lowest incomes.


Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan said:



> Unpaid carers have played a pivotal role throughout the pandemic and we recognise the financial and emotional hardships they have experienced.
> 
> 
> I hope this £500 payment will go some way to supporting them during these difficult times.
> 
> 
> We are immensely proud of our unpaid carers in Wales, many of whom struggle to make time for themselves because of their caring role, and hope this £29m investment in people shows how much we value and appreciate what they do.
> 
> 
> We understand not all unpaid carers will be eligible for this payment, as many are not in receipt of a Carer’s Allowance, and we will continue supporting carers of all ages in every way we can.


Unpaid carers will be able to submit their claim to local authorities later this year. Further details on how and when to register for the payment will be available shortly.


The payment is being launched after a survey of more than 1,500 unpaid carers found nearly half had to use their personal savings and give up work or study to care, while more than half had to give up on hobbies or personal interests because of their caring role.


Combined with the cost of living crisis \- and the fact many of those in an unpaid carer role will be caring for individuals with complex needs who require warm homes, specialist medical equipment and certain foods – it is recognised unpaid carers will be exposed to greater financial pressures than others.


It is hoped a payment of £500 will go some way to easing these pressures, as well as recognising the value of their caring role over the last year to Wales’ health and social care system.


Kate Young, Chair of Wales Carers Alliance and Director of the All Wales Forum of Parents and Carers, said: 



> The Alliance welcomes the news that many unpaid carers across Wales will be supported by this payment.
> 
> 
> It is a positive step towards recognising the unwavering care and support unpaid carers have always given, and will continue to give, especially considering the extra challenges so many families have faced during the pandemic.


Simon Hatch, Director of Carers Trust Wales, welcomed the news:



> Unpaid carers have been on the frontline throughout the pandemic and this payment is recognition of the many hours of care they’ve given alongside the efforts of the paid workforce.
> 
> 
> This is a first step towards addressing some of the concerns we’ve heard from unpaid carers across Wales, spanning from before the pandemic, about their daily struggles to make ends meet.


Claire Morgan, Carers Wales Director said:



> Unpaid carers are the vital third pillar of our health and social care system in Wales and took on unknowing amounts of stress and responsibility during the pandemic.
> 
> 
> This £500 payment is an important first step in actively recognising carers’ daily contribution to our society and we commend the Welsh Government for making these payments direct to carers.
