Ymgynghorwyd ynghylch cynnig i gyflwyno trothwy ar gyfer swm net yr incwm a enillir mewn blwyddyn ar gyfer hawlwyr Credyd Cynhwysol sy'n dymuno hawlio prydau ysgol am ddim. Os nad ydym yn cyflwyno trothwy, rydym yn amcangyfrif y bydd tua hanner yr holl ddisgyblion yng Nghymru yn gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim erbyn y bydd Credyd Cynhwysol wedi'i gyflwyno ym mhobman, o'i gymharu ag 16 y cant ym mis Ionawr 2018. Ni fyddai hyn yn fforddiadwy heb gymryd penderfyniadau anodd i ailflaenoriaethu cyllid, a chanlyniad hynny fyddai torri cyllid creiddiol mewn mannau eraill.
We consulted on a proposal to introduce an annualised net earned income threshold for Universal Credit claimants who wish to claim free school meals. If we do not introduce a threshold, we estimate around half of all pupils in Wales will be eligible for free school meals by the time Universal Credit is fully rolled out, compared to 16 per cent in January 2018. This would be unaffordable without difficult decisions being taken to re-prioritise funding which would result in cutting core funding elsewhere.
