Ers ei lansio, rwyf eisoes wedi ymestyn y meini prawf cymhwysedd i gynnwys rhieni a gofalwyr plant y gofynnwyd iddynt hunanynysu a’r rheini y gofynnwyd iddynt hunanynysu drwy Ap COVID-19 y GIG. Mae ein hadolygiad diweddaraf wedi nodi nifer o grwpiau nad yw’r cynllun ar hyn o bryd yn eu cynnwys ac y mae angen ein cymorth arnynt. O heddiw ymlaen, rydym am ddiweddaru’r cynllun i gynnwys y rheini y gofynnwyd iddynt hunanynysu na allant weithio o gartref, ac sydd:yn derbyn Tâl Salwch Statudol neu Lwfans Cyflogaeth a Chymorth Dull Newydd neu lai; a/neuyn derbyn incwm personol NET o £500 neu lai.
Since launch I have already extended eligibility to include parents and carers of children who have been asked to self-isolate and those who have been asked to self-isolate through the NHS COVID-19 App.  Our most recent review has identified a number of groups that currently fall outside the scheme and need our support.  From today we are updating the scheme to include those who have been asked to self-isolate and are unable to work from home and are:In receipt of Statutory Sick Pay or New Style Employment and Support Allowance or less; and/orIn receipt of £500 NET personal income a week or less.
