Nodyn Esboniadol

(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau)

Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio ymhellach (o ran Cymru) Reoliadau Grantiau Adnewyddu Tai 1996 (O.S. 1996/2890) (“y prif Reoliadau”), sy'n nodi'r prawf modd i bennu swm y grant y caniateir i'r awdurdodau tai lleol ei dalu o dan Bennod 1 o Ran 1 o Ddeddf Grantiau Tai, Adeiladu ac Adfywio 1996. Mae'r prif Reoliadau'n cael eu diwygio fel a ganlyn:

Mae rheoliad 3(2) yn diwygio rheoliad 10, i beri mai £1 yw'r swm cymwys o ran person sy'n cael lwfans cyflogaeth a chymorth cysylltiedig â gwaith.

Mae rheoliad 3(3) yn diwygio rheoliad 19, i beri y bydd y ffioedd gofal plant perthnasol sy'n cael eu hysgwyddo gan berson sy'n cael enillion ar sail analluedd i weithio neu alluedd cyfyngedig i weithio, neu sy'n cael taliadau lwfans cyflogaeth a chymorth, yn cael eu pennu wrth gyfrifo modd yr ymgeisydd er mwyn pennu swm y grant y caniateir ei dalu.

Mae rheoliad 3(4) yn diwygio rheoliad 41 ac yn gwneud darpariaeth ganlyniadol o ran newidiadau i'r system ariannu myfyrwyr o Loegr a wnaed gan Ddeddf Prentisiaethau, Sgiliau, Plant a Dysgu 2009.

Mae Atodlen 1 i'r prif Reoliadau yn rhestru'r symiau sy'n gymwys i berson perthnasol (a ddiffinnir yn rheoliad 5 o'r prif Reoliadau) fel rhan o'r cyfrifiad sy'n cael ei wneud er mwyn pennu'r swm cymwys (a ddiffinnir yn rheoliad 10 o'r prif Reoliadau). Mae'r symiau hyn yn cael eu defnyddio wedyn wrth gyfrifo'r grant y caniateir ei dalu. Mae Atodlen 2 yn rhestru symiau sydd i'w hanwybyddu wrth bennu incwm, mae Atodlen 3 yn rhestru symiau sydd i'w hanwybyddu wrth bennu incwm heblaw enillion, ac mae Atodlen 4 yn rhestru'r cyfalaf sydd i'w anwybyddu wrth bennu cyfalaf.

Mae rheoliad 2(4) yn diwygio Atodlen 1 i gynnwys lwfansau cyflogaeth a chymorth yn y symiau sy'n gymwys. Mae rheoliad 2(5) i (7) yn diwygio Atodlenni 2, 3 a 4 i beri bod lwfans cyflogaeth a chymorth cysylltiedig â gwaith yn cael ei anwybyddu wrth bennu enillion, incwm heblaw enillion a chyfalaf.
