Yng nghynllun pum mlynedd Llywodraeth Cymru, “Symud Cymru Ymlaen”, mae ymrwymiad i fwy na dyblu’r terfyn cyfalaf a ddefnyddir wrth godi tâl am ofal cymdeithasol preswyl, sef o £24,000 i £50,000\. O heddiw ymlaen, bydd y terfyn yn codi i £30,000, fel rhan o gynnydd graddol i £50,000\.  
  
Hefyd, bydd y Pensiwn Anabledd Rhyfel yn cael ei ddiystyru wrth i awdurdodau lleol gynnal asesiadau ariannol ar gyfer codi tâl am ofal cymdeithasol. Gwneir hyn er mwyn sicrhau nad oes rhaid i gyn\-filwyr ddefnyddio unrhyw ran o’r pensiwn hwn i dalu am eu gofal.     
  
Mae’r newidiadau hyn yn rhan o ystod eang o fesurau sy’n cael eu gweithredu gan Lywodraeth Cymru i wella gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru, gan gynnwys buddsoddi £55 miliwn.  
  
Ymwelodd y Gweinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Rebecca Evans, â Chartref Nyrsio College Fields yn y Barri i gwrdd â phreswylwyr a staff  ac i dynnu sylw at y newidiadau sy’n digwydd.   
  
Dywedodd Rebecca Evans:


> “Mae pobl hŷn sydd wedi chwarae eu rhan ac wedi cyfrannu’n ariannol ar hyd eu hoes yn haeddu mwy o degwch. Dyna pam y byddwn ni, dros gyfnod y Cynulliad hwn, yn dyblu swm yr arian y caiff pobl hŷn ei gadw pan fyddan nhw mewn gofal. 
> 
> “Dw i’n falch o allu dweud y caiff pobl gadw £30,000 heb iddo gael ei ddefnyddio i dalu am eu gofal o heddiw ymlaen. Bydd hyn yn cynyddu i £50,000 dros y blynyddoedd nesaf.”

Awdurdodau lleol sy’n gyfrifol am ariannu gofal rhywun os yw ei gyfalaf yn llai na £30,000\. Os bydd yn codi swm, bydd hwnnw’n seiliedig ar yr incwm sydd ar gael i’r unigolyn.  
  
Dylai unrhyw rai sy’n meddwl y gallen nhw, neu aelod o’u teulu, elwa ar y trefniadau newydd, gysylltu â’u hawdurdod lleol.  
  
Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog: 


> “Dyma adeg hynod gyffrous i ofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Rydyn ni’n dechrau gweld Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) yn dwyn ffrwyth, gyda gofal yn cael ei ganolbwyntio’n llwyr ar yr unigolyn ledled Cymru.


> “Mae’r Llywodraeth hon wedi rhoi blaenoriaeth i’r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol fel sector sydd o bwys strategol cenedlaethol.  Er mwyn helpu i wireddu’r ymrwymiad hwn, rydyn ni wedi cyhoeddi £55 miliwn ychwanegol ar gyfer y gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn 2017\-18\.”

The Welsh Government’s five year plan, “Taking Wales Forward”, committed to more than doubling the capital limit used in charging for residential social care, from £24,000 to £50,000\.  From today, the limit will move to £30,000, as part of a phased increase to £50,000\.  
  
In addition, a full disregard of the War Disablement Pension (WDP) is being introduced in all local authority financial assessments for charging for social care. This is so that veterans are not required to use any part of these to pay for the care they need.     
  
These moves are part of a wide range of measures being undertaken by the Welsh Government to improve social care in Wales, including investing an extra £55 million in the sector.  
  
Minister for Social Services, Rebecca Evans, visited College Fields Nursing Home in Barry to meet residents and staff to highlight the changes taking place.   
  
Rebecca Evans said:  
  

> “Older people who have worked hard and paid in all their lives deserve a fairer deal. That is why, over the course of this Assembly, we will double the amount of money that older people can keep when in care.   
>   
> “I am pleased that from today people are able to keep £30,000 without this being used to pay for care, and this will rise to £50,000 in the coming years.”

  
Local authorities are responsible for funding a person’s care if their capital is less than £30,000, only charging a contribution based on a person’s available income.  
  
Anybody who thinks they, or a family member, could benefit from the new arrangements, should contact their local authority.  
  
The Minister added:   
  

> “This is a really exciting time for social care in Wales. We are starting to see the full impact of the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act take effect, with people across Wales really being put at the heart of their care.  
>   
> “This Government has prioritised social services as a sector of national strategic importance. In recognition of this, we have announced an extra £55 million for social services in 2017\-18\.”
