I sicrhau nad yw’r rheini ar incwm is yn dioddef yn ariannol yn sgil hunanynysu, rwy’n cynyddu swm y taliad o £500 i £750 o 7 Awst pan ddaw’r rheoliadau newydd i rym. Caiff hyn ei adolygu ar ôl tri mis i asesu ei effeithiolrwydd ac i sicrhau bod y defnydd gorau yn cael ei wneud o’r cymorth ariannol hollbwysig hwn. Telir y swm uwch hefyd i unrhyw un sy’n ennill hyd at y trothwy incwm personol o £500 yr wythnos, ond sy’n colli eu henillion dros y cyfnod hunanynysu o ddeg diwrnod. Bydd y £750 ar gael i bob ymgeisydd cymwys y gofynnir iddo hunanynysu ar neu ar ôl 7 Awst.
To ensure that those on lower incomes do not suffer financially as a result of self-isolation, I am increasing the payment amount from £500 to £750 from 7 August when the new regulations come into force.  This new amount will be reviewed after three months to assess effectiveness and to ensure best use of this critical financial support.  The increased amount will also compensate anyone earning up to the personal income threshold of £500 per week with their loss of earnings over the ten day isolation period.  Any applicant who is asked to self-isolate on or after 7 August will be eligible for the £750 payment.
