The Health Minister has urged people in Wales to claim the financial support they are entitled to by 31 March 2022\.


Health and Social Services Minister Eluned Morgan said:



> In recent months we have made significant progress in providing improved financial support for those infected and affected by contaminated blood.
> 
> 
> I am aware however that there may still be some people who have not come forward to apply for the support they need and deserve in recognition of the devastating impact this has had on their lives.
> 
> 
> Bereaved beneficiaries, not currently on our scheme, have until 31 March 2022 to apply to the Wales Infected Blood Support Scheme (WIBBS) to receive support backdated to April 2019 for those who are eligible.


Last year, the Welsh Government, along with the other UK nations, announced financial support for the bereaved would be extended to provide 100 per cent of the infected beneficiaries’ rate for the first year followed by 75 per cent in subsequent years. This would be backdated to April 2019 for existing bereaved beneficiaries and any new applications that are made before 31 March 2022\.


The payments, which are tax\-free and increase annually in line with the cost of living, range from just over £14,000 to almost £34,000 annually, depending on their late spouse or partner’s diagnosis.


Anyone bereaved as a result of infected blood who comes forward after the 1 April 2022 cut\-off point will still be eligible to apply, but payments will be applicable from the date the application is made and will not be backdated to 2019\.

Mae’r Gweinidog Iechyd yn annog y rheini yng Nghymru sydd â hawl i gael cymorth ariannol i gyflwyno eu cais erbyn 31 Mawrth 2022\.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Eluned Morgan:



> Yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf, rydyn ni wedi cymryd camau pwysig i wella’r cymorth ariannol sydd ar gael i’r rheini sydd wedi dioddef oherwydd gwaed a oedd wedi ei heintio, naill ai drwy gael gwaed heintiedig eu hunain neu oherwydd bod gwaed heintiedig wedi cael ei roi i rywun arall.
> 
> 
> Fodd bynnag, dw i’n gwybod y gallai fod rhai pobl sydd heb wneud cais eto am y cymorth angenrheidiol y maen nhw’n ei haeddu, wrth inni gydnabod yr effeithiau hynod ddinistriol y mae hyn wedi ei gael ar eu bywydau.
> 
> 
> Mae gan y rheini sydd wedi dioddef profedigaeth, nad ydyn nhw wedi manteisio ar y cynllun hyd yn hyn, tan 31 Mawrth 2022 i wneud cais i Gynllun Cymorth Gwaed Heintiedig Cymru, i gael cymorth sydd wedi ei ôl\-ddyddio i fis Ebrill 2019 os ydyn nhw’n gymwys.


Y llynedd, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru a gwelydd eraill y DU, y byddai’r cymorth ariannol sydd ar gael i’r buddiolwyr sydd wedi dioddef profedigaeth yn cael ei ymestyn i ddarparu 100% o’r gyfradd a roddir i’r buddiolwyr a gafodd eu heintio, am y flwyddyn gyntaf, ac wedyn 75% yn y blynyddoedd dilynol. Byddai hyn yn cael ei ôl\-ddyddio i fis Ebrill 2019 i’r buddiolwyr presennol sydd wedi dioddef profedigaeth, ac unrhyw geisiadau newydd sy’n cael eu gwneud cyn 31 Mawrth 2022\.


Mae’r taliadau hyn yn ddi\-dreth ac yn cynyddu bob blwyddyn i gyd\-fynd â chostau byw, gan amrywio o ychydig dros £14,000 i bron £34,000 y flwyddyn, gan ddibynnu ar ddiagnosis eu diweddar bartner.


Bydd unrhyw un sydd wedi dioddef profedigaeth o ganlyniad i waed heintiedig, sy’n cysylltu â’r cynllun ar ôl 1 Ebrill 2022, yn parhau i fod yn gymwys i wneud cais, ond bydd unrhyw daliadau’n dyddio o ddyddiad y cais ac ni fyddant yn cael eu hôl\-ddyddio i 2019\.
