Symiau ariannol a ddarperir gan awdurdodau lleol o dan ddyletswyddau yn Neddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 (Deddf 2014) yw taliadau uniongyrchol. Fe’u telir i unigolion, neu eu cynrychiolydd, i'w galluogi i fodloni eu hanghenion cymwys am ofal a chymorth, neu anghenion cymorth yn achos gofalwr. Ni all Byrddau Iechyd Lleol ddarparu taliadau uniongyrchol o dan y ddeddfwriaeth bresennol.
Direct payments are monetary amounts made available by local authorities under duties in the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 (the 2014 Act). These are paid to individuals, or their representative, to enable them to meet their eligible needs for care and support, or support needs in the case of a carer. LHBs cannot provide direct payments under existing legislation.
