Dirymir Rheoliadau Grantiau Adnewyddu Tai (Diwygio) (Cymru) 2005[18].
Llofnodwyd ar ran Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru o dan adran 66(1) o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Cymru 1998[19]

NODYN ESBONIADOL
(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau)
Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau Grantiau Adnewyddu Tai 1996 (O.S. 1996/2890) ("Rheoliadau 1996"), sy'n nodi'r prawf moddion ar gyfer penderfynu swm y grant a gaiff ei dalu gan awdurdodau tai lleol o dan Bennod 1 o Ran 1 o Ddeddf Grantiau Tai, Adeiladu ac Adfywio 1996. Newidir cwmpas y prawf moddion gan reoliad 6, drwy roi diffiniad newydd o "relevant person" yn rheoliad 5 o Reoliadau 1996. Effaith hyn yw nad yw'r prawf moddion yn gymwys mwyach pan wneir cais am grant gan riant neu warcheidwad plentyn neu berson ifanc anabl.
Diwygiadau o ganlyniad i newidiadau i Reoliadau Budd-dal Tai (Cyffredinol) 1987 (O.S. 1987/1971), y mae'r prawf moddion yn Rheoliadau 1996 wedi'i seilio arnynt, yw'r diwygiadau eraill gan fwyaf a wneir gan y Rheoliadau hyn. Y canlynol yw'r prif newidiadau o'r math hwn—
Mae rheoliad 3 yn darparu bod Rheoliadau 1996 yn effeithiol yn ddarostyngedig i addasiadau tebyg i rai o'r rhai a wneir ar gyfer budd-dal tai gan Reoliadau Budd-dal Tai a Budd-dal y Dreth Gyngor (Credyd Pensiwn y Wladwriaeth) 2003 (O.S. 2003/325), pan fydd Rheoliadau 1996 yn gymwys o ran personau perthnasol sydd wedi cyrraedd yr oedran sy'n eu cymhwyso ar gyfer credyd pensiwn y wladwriaeth neu y mae eu partneriaid wedi cyrraedd yr oedran hwnnw.
Mae rheoliad 7 yn cynyddu'r symiau a bennir yn rheoliad 10 o Reoliadau 1996, ac felly'n cynyddu'r "applicable amount" at ddiben penderfynu swm y grant sy'n daladwy.
Mae rheoliad 8 yn uwchraddio'r ffactorau cynhyrchu benthyciadau at ddibenion rheoliad 12 o Reoliadau 1996, sy'n penderfynu beth fydd swm y gostyngiad yn y grant mewn achosion pan fydd adnoddau ariannol y ceisydd neu'r ceisyddion am grant yn fwy na'r "applicable amount".
Mae rheoliad 11 yn rhoi o'r newydd yn rheoliad 17 o Reoliadau 1996 ddarpariaeth ar gyfer anwybyddu incwm a chyfalaf plentyn neu berson ifanc, ac mae rheoliadau 15 ac 16 yn gwneud diwygiadau o ganlyniad i hyn.
Mae rheoliad 12 yn cynyddu'r mwyafswm y caniateir ei ddidynnu, mewn achosion sy'n bodloni rhai amodau, o ran taliadau wythnosol perthnasol am ofal plentyn, a hynny at ddiben penderfynu incwm ar sail wythnosol o dan reoliad 18 o Reoliadau 1996.
Mae rheoliad 18 yn cynyddu'r symiau a bennir, yn rheoliad 43 o Reoliadau 1996, yn symiau sydd i'w heithrio o incwm grant myfyriwr pan nad oes gan y myfyriwr fenthyciad myfyriwr.
Mae rheoliad 19 yn uwchraddio'r symiau a'r premiymau cymwysiadwy yn Atodlen 1 i Reoliadau 1996.
Mae rheoliad 20 yn diwygio Atodlen 2 i Reoliadau 1996 i adlewyrchu newidiadau a wnaed gan Reoliadau Budd-dal Tai a Budd-dal y Dreth Gyngor (Diwygiadau Amrywiol) 2003 (O.S. 2003/2634). Mae paragraff 18 o Atodlen 2 yn darparu bod y swm sydd i'w anwybyddu o ran enillion o dan yr Atodlen honno i'w gynyddu os bodlonir amodau penodol o ran isafswm nifer yr oriau bob wythnos y bydd y ceisydd neu unrhyw bartner yn eu treulio'n gwneud gwaith am dâl. Gostyngir lleiafswm nifer yr oriau o 30 i 16, os yw'r ceisydd yn rhiant unigol, neu os yw'r ceisydd a'i bartner yn gyfrifol am un neu fwy o blant, neu os yw'r person sy'n gwneud y gwaith am dâl dros 50 oed neu'n bodloni'r amod ar gyfer premiwm anabledd.
Mae rheoliad 21 yn gwneud diwygiadau i Atodlen 3 i Reoliadau 1996 o ganlyniad i'r diwygiadau a wnaed i gorff y Rheoliadau hynny.
Mae rheoliad 22 yn diwygio Atodlen 4 i Reoliadau 1996 a hynny'n benodol er mwyn diweddaru'r cyfeiriadau at reolau'r Llys ac i ychwanegu darpariaeth ar gyfer anwybyddu, wrth gyfrifo cyfalaf, symiau penodol a dderbynnir gan ddioddefwyr yn sgil y bomiau yn Llundain ar 7 Gorffennaf 2005.
Mae rheoliad 23 yn dirymu Rheoliadau Grantiau Adnewyddu Tai (Diwygio) (Cymru) 2005 (O.S. 2005/2605).
Gwneir mân ddiwygiad canlyniadol nad yw'n deillio o ddeddfwriaeth budd-dal tai gan baragraff (c) o reoliad 5. Mae hwn yn diwygio rheoliad 2 o Reoliadau 1996 er mwyn rhoi, yn lle'r cyfeiriad at "qualifying park home", gyfeiriad at "caravan" o fewn yr ystyr a roddir i'r term hwnnw gan adran 224 o Ddeddf Tai 2004 (p.34), y diwygiwyd ganddi Ddeddf Grantiau Tai, Adeiladu ac Adfywio 1996. Mae paragraffau eraill yn rheoliad 5 yn diwygio'r dehongliad o Reoliadau 1996 i adlewyrchu cyflwyno partneriaethau sifil yn Neddf Partneriaethau Sifil 2004 (p.33).
