Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi derbyn dyfarniad yr Ombwdsmon, ac mae’r Trysorlys wedi cytuno i dalu costau iawndal ledled y DU. Mae gwaith ar y gweill bellach i nodi’r rhai yr effeithir arnynt, i gyfrifo faint o iawndal sy’n daladwy iddynt a’u talu. Nes y bydd y gwaith hwnnw wedi’i gwblhau, ni allwn wybod graddfa’r broblem, ond mae’n debygol o effeithio ar gannoedd o ddiffoddwyr tân sydd wedi ymddeol yng Nghymru, gyda chyfanswm yr iawndal yn dod i filiynau o bunnoedd.
The UK Government has accepted the Ombudsman’s ruling, and the Treasury has agreed to meet the costs of compensation across the UK.  Work is now under way to identify all those affected, to calculate the compensation they are due, and to pay them.  Until that work is complete, we cannot know the extent of the problem; but it is likely to affect hundreds of retired firefighters in Wales, with total compensation running into millions of pounds.
