An independent social work assessment will be offered to all former Independent Living Fund (ILF) recipients who are unhappy with their new care and support package and would like a second opinion.

The Welsh Government will provide additional funding to local authorities for the cost of the workers to carry out these independent assessments and additional care hours that may result from the assessments.

The independent assessments will be consistent with people’s agreed wellbeing outcome and acknowledge the historical entitlement of former ILF recipients. 

Mrs Morgan said: 


> “It is paramount that people’s ability to live independently is not compromised by changes the care and support provided for people previously in receipt of the Welsh Independent Living Grant. These changes will ensure that is the case and deliver a consistent level of care and support across Wales.
> 
> “While the majority of former ILF recipients are receiving the same or more care as they were previously, a significant number have experienced a reduction in hours of support. There is also considerable variation in the reductions in support. 
> 
> “I have therefore written to local government leaders to request a pause of the transition with immediate effect in order to bring in the revised arrangements. 
> 
> “This is a significant change of approach that ensures that the needs of former WILG recipients will be fully met, and that resources are no barrier to a full package of care and support.
> 
> I would like to thank Nathan Davies and his colleagues in the Save the WILG Campaign for the representations they have made to Welsh Government on this matter. I have met with Nathan twice in the last three weeks to hear his concerns and to seek to develop a new approach. I understand that Nathan is supportive in principle of the new approach Welsh Government intend to take. We share a common interest in seeing it implemented properly.”

Bydd asesiad annibynnol o waith cymdeithasol yn cael ei gynnig i bob un oedd yn arfer derbyn taliadau o'r Gronfa Byw'n Annibynnol (y Gronfa) sy'n anfodlon â'u pecyn gofal a chymorth newydd ac sy'n dymuno cael ail farn. 

Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu cyllid ychwanegol i awdurdodau lleol i dalu am gost gweithwyr i gynnal yr asesiadau annibynnol hyn ac unrhyw oriau gofal ychwanegol a all godi o'r asesiadau.  

Bydd yr asesiadau annibynnol yn cyd\-fynd â chanlyniadau llesiant a gytunwyd ar gyfer yr unigolyn dan sylw, ac yn cydnabod hawl hanesyddol y rhai arferai dderbyn taliadau o'r Gronfa. 

Dywedodd Mrs Morgan: 


> “Mae'n gwbl hanfodol sicrhau nad yw gallu pobl i fyw'n annibynnol dan fygythiad yn sgil newidiadau i'r ffordd y mae gofal a chymorth yn cael eu darparu i bobl a arferai dderbyn Grant Byw'n Annibynnol Cymru. Bydd y newidiadau hyn yn sicrhau hynny ac yn darparu lefel gyson o ofal a chymorth ar draws Cymru.
> 
> "Er bod mwyafrif y rhai arferai dderbyn taliadau o'r Gronfa nawr yn derbyn yr un faint neu fwy o ofal ag yr oeddent gynt, mae nifer sylweddol wedi gweld gostyngiad yn yr oriau o gymorth sy'n cael ei ddarparu. Mae'r gostyngiadau hynny'n amrywio cryn dipyn hefyd. 
> 
> “Rwyf felly wedi ysgrifennu at arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol yn gofyn iddynt oedi'r pontio ar unwaith er mwyn cyflwyno trefniadau diwygiedig. 
> 
> “Mae hyn yn newid sylweddol a fydd yn sicrhau bod anghenion y rhai arferai dderbyn taliadau'r Grant yn cael eu diwallu'n llawn, ac nad yw adnoddau yn rhwystr rhag cael pecyn llawn o ofal a chymorth.
> 
> Hoffwn i ddiolch i Nathan Davies a’i gyd\-ymgyrchwyr am eu cyflwyniadau i Lywodraeth Cymru ar y mater hwn. Cefais gyfarfod â Nathan ddwywaith dros y tair wythnos ddiwethaf i glywed ei bryderon a cheisio datblygu ffordd newydd o weithio. Rwy’n deall bod Nathan yn cefnogi mewn egwyddor y trywydd newydd mae Llywodraeth Cymru am ei ddilyn. Rydyn ni'n cytuno bod angen ei roi ar waith yn briodol."
