A yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyfrifo faint o fudd-dal plant sydd heb ei hawlio gan deuluoedd cymwys, a pha fentrau y mae wedi'u hystyried i helpu'r rhai sy'n gymwys i hawlio arian a fyddai'n cynorthwyo teuluoedd ac economïau lleol?
As child benefit is a non-devolved benefit delivered by the UK Government, we do not routinely hold data on eligibility and take-up. However, we know from analysis undertaken by stakeholders such as Policy in Practice that many families in Wales are not claiming all their entitlements including Child Benefit.
Income maximisation is a key commitment for Welsh Government in terms of tackling poverty. We are delivering a range of policy initiatives to ensure that people in Wales are aware of and can access their full financial entitlements which includes non-devolved benefits such as Child Benefit. The initiatives include a national benefit take-up communications campaign, free training for frontline staff, data analysis to identify households that may not be claiming what they are entitled to, alongside advice and support to help people navigate the claiming process.
