Mae'n gwbl hanfodol sicrhau nad yw gallu pobl i fyw'n annibynnol dan fygythiad yn sgil newidiadau i'r ffordd y mae eu gofal a'u cymorth yn cael eu trefnu a'u darparu. Dyna pam y penderfynais y dylai'r bobl arferai dderbyn taliadau'r Grant gael cyfle i gael asesiad annibynnol o'u gofal a'u cymorth os ydynt yn anfodlon â chanlyniad eu hasesiad gofal a chymorth gan yr awdurdod lleol. Pwrpas yr asesiadau hynny yw cytuno ar ganlyniadau llesiant mae pobl yn dymuno eu cyflawni er mwyn medru byw'n annibynnol, a chytuno ar sut i'w cyflawni.
It is paramount that people’s ability to live independently is not compromised by changes to the way their care and support is arranged and provided. It was for this reason that I decided that those people who used to receive payments under the WILG should have the opportunity of an independent care and support assessment if they are unhappy with the outcome of their local authority care and support assessment. Those assessments are being undertaken to agree with people the wellbeing outcomes they wish to achieve to live independently and to agree how these would be met.
