20Gwrthod asesiad o anghenion ar gyfer oedolyn

(1)Os yw oedolyn (neu, pan fo’n gymwys, person awdurdodedig) yn gwrthod asesiad o’i anghenion o dan adran 19, nid yw’r ddyletswydd o dan yr adran honno i asesu anghenion yr oedolyn yn gymwys.

    (a)

    nad oes gan yr oedolyn alluedd i benderfynu a wrthoda gael yr asesiad,

    (b)

    nad oes person awdurdodedig i wneud y penderfyniad ar ran yr oedolyn, ac

    (c)

    y byddai cael yr asesiad er lles pennaf yr oedolyn;

  • ACHOS 3 - mae’r awdurdod lleol yn amau bod yr oedolyn yn cael, neu’n wynebu risg o gael, ei gam-drin neu ei esgeuluso.

(a)os yw’r oedolyn (neu, pan fo’n gymwys, person awdurdodedig) yn gofyn wedyn am asesiad, neu

(b)os yw’r awdurdod lleol o’r farn bod anghenion neu amgylchiadau’r oedolyn wedi newid,

(yn ddarostyngedig i unrhyw wrthodiad pellach o dan yr adran hon).
