English: Diolch yn fawr for that really important question in terms of the cost-of-living crisis, and particularly our concerns about tackling fuel poverty. I can relay to the Member and to Members across the Chamber that, as I think I've already said, 350,000 people should be eligible for the winter fuel support scheme; the £100 has doubled in the last fortnight to £200; we've had 146,000 applications so far, and over 105,000 payments have been made. Local authorities are playing a crucial role here in contacting all those who they deem to be eligible for our winter fuel payment support scheme. It is very important also - . It's been extended to the end of February, so I also urge everyone here across the Chamber, as I'm sure you will all want to make sure that your constituents who are eligible will apply for the fuel support scheme. But it's also very important to recognise the needs of pensioners, and I'm glad you've raised the issue that two out of five people who are eligible for pension credit are not claiming it. So, I very much welcome the older people's commissioner, and indeed Age Cymru, and all those who are representing older people and pensioners of their commitment to support our 'Claim what's yours' income maximisation claims, and to ensure that they do apply for the pension credit scheme. But also another message, which actually, I have to say, is for the UK Government as well, because energy bill rebates to older people and vulnerable households through the warm home discount and the winter fuel payment, as well as the winter fuel payment scheme, could be easily expanded by the UK Government to offer further support, so I'm sure you will join me in calling for that after what I thought was a derisory uplift, which was announced last week, in terms of the warm home discount. And can I also just take the opportunity to say that, of course, pensioners are also eligible to apply for the discretionary assistance fund? And we are investing through the Warm Homes programme in energy efficiency measures.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am eich cwestiwn gwirioneddol bwysig ar yr argyfwng costau byw, ac yn benodol ar ein pryderon ynghylch trechu tlodi tanwydd. Gallaf ddweud wrth yr Aelod a'r Aelodau ar draws y Siambr, fel rwyf wedi'i ddweud eisoes, rwy'n credu, y dylai 350,000 o bobl fod yn gymwys ar gyfer y cynllun cymorth tanwydd gaeaf; mae'r £100 wedi dyblu yn y pythefnos diwethaf i £200; rydym wedi cael 146,000 o geisiadau hyd yn hyn, ac mae dros 105,000 o daliadau wedi'u gwneud. Mae awdurdodau lleol yn chwarae rhan allweddol yma yn cysylltu â phawb y maent yn eu hystyried yn gymwys ar gyfer ein cynllun cymorth taliadau tanwydd gaeaf. Mae'n bwysig iawn hefyd - . Mae wedi'i ymestyn hyd at ddiwedd mis Chwefror, felly rwyf hefyd yn annog pawb yma ar draws y Siambr, gan fy mod yn siŵr y bydd pob un ohonoch yn awyddus i sicrhau y bydd eich etholwyr sy'n gymwys yn gwneud cais am y cynllun cymorth tanwydd. Ond mae hefyd yn bwysig iawn cydnabod anghenion pensiynwyr, ac rwy'n falch eich bod wedi codi'r mater nad yw dau o bob pump o bobl sy'n gymwys i gael credyd pensiwn yn ei hawlio. Felly, rwy'n croesawu ymrwymiad y comisiynydd pobl hŷn, ac Age Cymru yn wir, a phawb sy'n cynrychioli pobl hŷn a phensiynwyr, i gefnogi ein hawliadau gwneud y gorau o incwm, 'Hawliwch yr hyn sy'n ddyledus i chi', ac i sicrhau eu bod yn gwneud ceisiadau am y cynllun credyd pensiwn. Ond rhaid imi ddweud mai neges arall, sydd ar gyfer Llywodraeth y DU hefyd mewn gwirionedd, yw y gallai'r ad-daliadau biliau ynni i bobl hŷn ac aelwydydd agored i niwed drwy'r gostyngiad cartref cynnes a'r taliad tanwydd gaeaf, yn ogystal â'r cynllun taliadau tanwydd gaeaf, gael eu hehangu'n hawdd gan Lywodraeth y DU i gynnig cymorth pellach, felly rwy'n siŵr y gwnewch chi ymuno â mi i alw am hynny ar ôl y cynnydd gwarthus, yn fy marn i, a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf mewn perthynas â'r gostyngiad cartref cynnes. Ac a gaf fi achub ar y cyfle i ddweud, wrth gwrs, fod pensiynwyr hefyd yn gymwys i wneud cais i'r gronfa cymorth dewisol? Ac rydym yn buddsoddi, drwy raglen Cartrefi Clyd, mewn mesurau effeithlonrwydd ynni.
