A wnaiff yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet ofyn i Gomisiynydd Pobl Hŷn Cymru gynnal asesiad effaith ar gyfer pobl hŷn yng Nghymru yn sgil cyhoeddiad Llywodraeth y DU ar 9 Mehefin y bydd pobl dros oedran pensiwn y wladwriaeth sydd ag incwm o £35,000 y flwyddyn neu lai yn cael taliad tanwydd gaeaf?
Both the Older People’s Commissioner and I have welcomed the UK Government’s announcement on the expansion of eligibility to Winter Fuel Payment this Winter.
DWP estimates that approximately 9 million pensioners will receive Winter Fuel Payment during Winter 25/26 in England and Wales. This equates to three quarters of pensioners in England and Wales.
Any further analysis of the impact of the changes to eligibility in Wales would be a matter for the DWP as welfare policy is a reserved matter.
