The benefit cap means that the maximum benefits that you can receive, if you are a couple or have children, it is £20,000 per year (or £384.62 a week). For single people, this will be reduced to £13,400 (or £257.69 per week).
If you claim benefits such as Housing Benefit, Carer’s Allowance or Child Benefit then you might be affected. You should contact the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on 0345 608 8545.
Mae’r cap budd-daliadau yn golygu mai’r uchafswm budd-daliadau y gallwch eu derbyn, os ydych yn gwpl neu os oes gennych blant, yw £20,000 y flwyddyn (neu £384.62 yr wythnos). Ar gyfer pobl sengl, caiff hyn ei ostwng i £13,400 (neu £257.69 yr wythnos).
Gellid effeithio arnoch os ydych yn hawlio budd-daliadau fel Budd-dal Tai, lwfans Gofalwyr neu Fudd-dal Plant. Dylech gysylltu â’r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau ar 0345 608 8545.
From 1st April 2016, the maximum length of time you could request a backdated payment of Housing Benefit changed.
This was reduced from six months to one month. However, if you are of pensionable age, the maximum backdating of Housing Benefit you can receive is three months. This means it is extremely important you contact Mid-Wales Housing on 0300 111 3030 as soon as possible if your circumstances change.
Ar 1 ebrill 2016 newidiodd yr uchafswm cyfnod y gallech ofyn am daliad wedi’i ôl-ddyddio o Fudd-dal Tai.
Gostyngwyd hyn o chwe mis i un mis. Fodd bynnag os ydych o oedran pensiwn, yr uchafswm ôl-dal Budd-dal Tai y gallwch ei dderbyn yw tri mis. Mae hyn yn golygu ei bod yn bwysig tu hwnt eich bod yn cysylltu â Tai Canolbarth Cymru ar 0300 111 3030 cyn gynted ag sy’n bosibl os yw’ch amgylchiadau’n newid.

What is a service charge?
Mid-Wales Housing residents pay a service charge in addition to the rent paid. This is a charge for the maintenance and servicing of communal areas. These service charges vary according to the actual costs incurred each year.
What is included in a service charge?
services such as communal electricity, grounds maintenance and servicing of fire safety equipment are included.
How the service charge calculation has changed?
Many residents find the fluctuating annual cost of the service charge frustrating, as it can make planning and budgeting difficult. As a result of resident feedback, Mid-Wales Housing has undertaken a review of service charges.
The review has identified that works such as tree maintenance, have a large impact upon the fluctuation in service charges. This is because the charges for tree maintenance have been allocated to the cost of services in the year when works were carried out. Often tree maintenance is carried out on a 10-year cycle, therefore these peaks in service charges can be ‘smoothed out’ by service charging this over a 10 year period, rather than in a ‘one-off’ hit.
How will this affect me?
From April 2018, the Association will therefore aim to ‘smooth’ the service charges, in an attempt to reduce the large fluctuations experienced in the past.
If you have any queries about what this change may mean to you please contact the Association’s Finance Officer, Jonathon Davies, on 0300 111 3030 or [email protected].
Beth yw tâl gwasanaeth?
Mae preswylwyr Tai Canolbarth Cymru yn talu tâl gwasanaeth yn ychwanegol at y rhent a gaiff ei dalu. Mae’r tâl yma am gynnal a chadw a gwasanaethu’r ardaloedd cymunol. Mae’r taliadau gwasanaeth hyn yn amrywio yn unol â’r union gostau a geir bob blwyddyn.
Beth mae’r tâl gwasanaeth yn ei gynnwys?
Gwasanaethau fel trydan cymunol, cynnal a chadw tiroedd a gwasanaethu offer diogelwch tân.
sut mae cyfrif y tâl gwasanaeth wedi newid?
Mae llawer o breswylwyr yn cael y newidiadau yn y tâl gwasanaeth blynyddol yn rhwystredig, gan y gall wneud cynllunio a threfnu arian yn anodd. Fel canlyniad i adborth gan breswylwyr, mae Tai Canolbarth Cymru wedi cynnal adolygiad o daliadau gwasanaeth.
Mae’r adolygiad wedi dynodi fod gwaith fel cynnal a chadw coed yn cael effaith fawr ar yr amrywiad mewn tâl gwasanaeth. Mae hyn oherwydd
y cafodd y costau am gynnal a chadw coed ei gyfrif fel cost gwasanaethau yn y flwyddyn pan wnaethpwyd y gwaith. Yn aml caiff gwaith cynnal coed ei wneud ar gylch 10-mlynedd, felly gellir ‘llyfnu” y brigau hyn mewn taliadau gwasanaeth drwy godi’r tâl am y gwasanaeth yma dros gyfnod o 10 mlynedd yn hytrach nag mewn un tro.
sut fydd hyn yn effeithio arnaf i?
O fis Ebrill 2018, bydd y Gymdeithas felly’n anelu i ‘lyfnu’ y taliadau gwasanaeth, mewn ymgais i ostwng yr amrywiadau mawr a brofwyd yn y gorffennol.
Os oes gennych unrhyw ymholiadau am beth y gall y newid hwn ei olygu i chi, cysylltwch â Jonathon Davies, swyddog Cyllid y Gymdeithas ar 0300 111 3030 neu [email protected].

The Association was sorry to receive the resignation of one of its long-standing Board Members, Mr. Nick Hoskins, in september 2017, following a period of ill-health.
In his eight years on the Board, Nick had served four years as Chair and had sat on each of the Association’s Committees, including a period of time on the Board of its subsidiary, Care & Repair in Powys.
The Association is much indebted to the foresight, passion and determination to succeed which Nick brought to the Board, among many other skills, and we wish him a happy and healthy retirement from the Board, knowing he will always be keeping a keen eye on our progress!
Roedd y Gymdeithas yn flin i dderbyn ymddiswyddiad Mr Nick Hoskins, un o’i Aelodau Bwrdd gyda’r gwasanaeth hiraf, ym mis Medi 2017 yn dilyn cyfnod o afiechyd.
Yn ei wyth mlynedd ar y Bwrdd roedd Nick wedi gwasanaethu am bedair blynedd fel Cadeirydd ac wedi bod yn aelod o bob un o Bwyllgorau’r Gymdeithas, yn cynnwys cyfnod ar Fwrdd ei his-gwmni, Gofal a Thrwsio ym Mhowys.
Mae’r Gymdeithas yn werthfawrogol iawn am graffter, angerdd a phenderfyniad i
lwyddo a ddaeth Nick i’r Bwrdd, ymysg llawer o sgiliau eraill, a dymunwn ymddeoliad hapus a iach iddo o’r Bwrdd, gan wybod y bydd bob amser yn cadw llygad agos ar ein cynnydd!

Mid-Wales Housing Board Members consider each year the rent increase that should be applied from 1st April with the majority of rents being increased this year. We appreciate that an increase in rent is rarely welcome news and we are mindful of the potential impact that it will have on our residents.
The Association is committed to ensure rents remain reasonable and affordable, and this year has limited many of the increases.
The average increase agreed by the Association’s Board this year is 2.9% which is much lower than the 4.5% allowed by Welsh Government and lower than the increases proposed by many other housing associations or the County Council. The rents charged are also below those of private landlords.
If you would like to speak to one of our Income Management Team about your rent account, please contact them on 0300 111 3030.
Y cynnydd cyfartalog a gytunwyd gan Fwrdd y Gymdeithas eleni yw 2.9%, sy’n llawer is na’r 4.5% a ganiateir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ac yn is na’r cynnydd a gynigir gan lawer o gymdeithasau tai eraill neu’r Cyngor sir. Mae’r rhenti a godir hefyd yn is na rhenti landlordiaid preifat.
Os hoffech siarad gydag un o aelodau’n Tîm Rheoli Incwm am eich cyfrif rhent, cysylltwch â nhw ar 0300 111 3030.
Bob blwyddyn mae Aelodau Bwrdd Tai Canolbarth Cymru yn ystyried y cynnydd rhent a ddaw i rym o 1 ebrill gyda mwyafrif rhenti’n cael eu cynyddu eleni. sylweddolwn nad yw cynnydd mewn rhent yn newyddion a groesewir a rydym yn ystyriol o’r effaith bosibl a gaiff ar ein preswylwyr.
Mae’r Gymdeithas yn ymroddedig i sicrhau fod rhenti yn parhau’n rhesymol ac yn fforddiadwy, ac mae wedi cyfyngu llawer o’r cynnydd eleni.

Loan sharks are unlicensed money lenders, who operate illegally, often charging really high interest rates, which are difficult to repay.
Wales Illegal Money lending Unit (WIMlU) is a 24 hour confidential hotline, where you can report a loan shark, and also receive support: Tel 0300 123 3311.
Mid-Wales Housing employees recently attended a loan shark Awareness event in Newtown High school. This was a great event, organised by Ponthafren Resource Centre, highlighting the realities of borrowing from loan sharks in our communities.
At Mid-Wales Housing we don’t want you to get caught and trapped by debt. There are services that can help, and there are alternative ways to borrow money, even if you have poor credit.
If you have borrowed money and are finding it difficult to repay, or you are thinking about borrowing money, please do not hesitate to get in touch for confidential help, support and advice.

Mid-Wales Housing Association does not provide home contents insurance for your furniture and personal possessions, though we do insure the building. This is normal for housing providers like us.
Did you know there is a contents insurance scheme through the National Housing Federation called “My Home”?
My Home Contents Insurance scheme is an easy and affordable way for tenants to insure their belongings against fire, theft, vandalism, burst pipes and other household damage.
How does the My Home scheme work?
The scheme is available for all residents of social housing managed properties including tenants, leaseholders, shared owners, key workers and market rent tenants.
There are no minimum property security requirements and there are no policy excesses. Premiums are based on your postcode and many housing association members have premiums available which are specific for their residents.
Premiums can be paid fortnightly or monthly by cash at any post office or pay zone outlet, monthly by direct debit, annually by cheque, postal order, debit or credit card.
It is easy to apply for cover and to find out more by calling 0345 450 7288.
Alternatively, for more information visit www.thistlemyhome.co.uk.
Nid yw Cymdeithas Tai Canolbarth Cymru yn darparu yswiriant cynnwys cartref ar gyfer eich dodrefn, celfi ac eiddo personol, er ein bod yn yswirio’r adeilad. Dyma’r hyn sy’n arferol ar gyfer darparwyr tai fel ni.
Wyddech chi fod cynllun yswiriant cynnwys “My Home” ar gael drwy’r Ffederasiwn Tai Cenedlaethol?
Mae cynllun yswiriant cynnwys My Home yn ffordd rwydd a rhesymol i denantiaid yswirio eu heiddo rhag tân, lladrad, fandaliaeth, pabelli’n byrstio a difrod arall i gartrefi.
sut mae cynllun My Home yn gweithio?
Mae’r cynllun ar gael i holl breswylwyr cartrefi tai cymdeithasol a gaiff eu rheoli yn cynnwys tenantiaid,
lesddeiliaid, rhanberchnogion, gweithwyr allweddol a thenantiaid rhent marchnad.
Nid oes unrhyw ofynion gwarant eiddo gofynnol a dim gor-dal polisi. Mae’r premiwm yn seiliedig ar eich cod post ac mae gan lawer o aelodau gymdeithasau tai bremiwm penodol ar gyfer eu preswylwyr.
Gellir talu premiwm bob bythefnos neu bob mis gydag arian parod mewn unrhyw swyddfa’r post neu safle parth talu, yn fisol drwy ddebyd uniongyrchol, yn flynyddol drwy siec, archeb post, cerdyn debyd neu gerdyn debyd.
Mae’n rhwydd gwneud cais am sicrwydd a chael mwy o wybodaeth drwy ffonio 0345 450 7288.
I gael mwy o wybodaeth ewch i www.thistlemyhome.co.uk.
If you have no home contents insurance, you could be in for a shock!
Gallai sioc fod o’ch blaen os nad oes gennych yswiriant cynnwys cartref!

Data Protection law is changing. The new regulations will be called GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations). They apply from 25th May 2018 and replace the Data Protection Act 1996. The key purpose of the new regulations is to protect personal information in an increasingly digital world.
The basic principles concerning data protection are unchanged from the Data Protection Act. These require organisations like Mid-Wales Housing to:
Collect the minimum personal data to carry on their business;
Control access to personal data to those that need it;
Keep personal data for the minimum time necessary and then delete it.
The law recognises organisations need to collect personal information to enable them to carry on their business. However, the law states an organisation can only hold personal information if they have a valid reason to do so, and they need to be able to explain to the Information Commissioner why they need that information.
You will have given Mid-Wales Housing permission to hold and maintain personal information when you first signed your tenancy. This is to ensure we have your contact details, and ensure we tailor our services to meet your needs, especially if you are vulnerable or have a disability. We also collect personal information relating to equality and diversity. This is to help us check we are not unexpectedly discriminating against anyone. In future, where the Association needs to collect additional personal information we will be seeking your consent.
Mid-Wales Housing already takes the security of your personal data very seriously, however, the Association will be reviewing these consent declarations to ensure they are written in a plain language and easily understood. It is important that the Association is very clear about why it needs the personal information being asked for.
If you would like any further information please contact Charles Brotherton, Data Protection Officer on 0300 111 3030.
Mae cyfraith diogelu data yn newid. Gelwir y rheoliadau newydd yn GDPR (Rheoliadau Diogelu Data Cyffredinol). Byddant yn dod i rym o 25 Mai 2018 ac yn disodli Deddf Diogelu Data 1996. Pwrpas allweddol y rheoliadau newydd yw diogelu gwybodaeth bersonol mewn byd cynyddol ddigidol.
Nid yw egwyddorion sylfaenol diogelu data wedi newid o’r Ddeddf Diogelu Data. Mae’r rhain yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i sefydliadau fel Tai Canolbarth Cymru i:
Gasglu’r isafswm o ddata personol i gynnal eu busnes;
Rheoli mynediad i ddata personol i’r rhai sydd ei angen;
Cadw data personol am y cyfnod byrraf angenrheidiol ac yna ei ddileu.
Mae’r gyfraith yn cydnabod fod angen i sefydliadau gasglu gwybodaeth bersonol i’w galluogi i gynnal eu busnes. Fodd bynnag, mae’r gyfraith yn dweud mai dim ond os oes ganddynt reswm dilys dros wneud hynny y gall sefydliad gadw gwybodaeth bersonol, ac mae angen iddynt fedru esbonio i’r Comisiynydd Gwybodaeth pam eu bod angen yr wybodaeth honno.
Pan wnaethoch lofnodi eich tenantiaeth am y tro cyntaf byddwch wedi rhoi caniatâd i Tai Canolbarth Cymru i gadw a chynnal gwybodaeth bersonol i gadw a chynnal gwybodaeth bersonol. Mae hyn er mwyn sicrhau fod eich manylion cyswllt gennym, ac i sicrhau ein bod yn teilwra ein gwasanaethau i ddiwallu eich anghenion, yn arbennig os ydych yn agored i niwed ac â anabledd. Rydym hefyd yn casglu gwybodaeth bersonol yn ymwneud â chydraddoldeb ac amrywiaeth. Mae hyn er mwyn ein helpu i wirio nad ydym yn gwahaniaethu’n annisgwyl yn erbyn neb. Yn y dyfodol, byddwn yn gofyn am eich caniatâd pan fydd angen i’r Gymdeithas gasglu gwybodaeth bersonol ychwanegol.
Mae Tai Canolbarth Cymru eisoes yn cymryd diogelwch data personol yn ddifrifol iawn, fodd bynnag bydd y Gymdeithas yn adolygu’r datganiadau caniatâd i sicrhau y cawsant eu hysgrifennu mewn iaith syml a’u bod yn rhwydd eu deall. Mae’n bwysig fod y Gymdeithas yn glir iawn pam ei bod angen yr wybodaeth bersonol y gofynnir amdani.
Os hoffech unrhyw wybodaeth bellach, cysylltwch os gwelwch yn dda â Charles Brotherton, swyddog Diogelu Data ar 0300 111 3030.

The voluntary Boards of Tai Ceredigion and Mid-Wales Housing associations are pleased to announce that they have started on a journey of exploring closer collaboration. The two associations have already been working together on property maintenance and future planned joint procurement projects.
Our overall purpose is to offer enhanced bilingual services to our residents and communities, growing the financial strength of the business, and reinvesting any efficiency gains into improving services.
The objectives of working together are to develop more affordable homes, and to provide greater employment and training opportunities, for our staff and tenants, within the Mid and West Wales Region.
We see that there are a number of advantages to working in partnership.
We will look at a range of options to increase our collaboration over the next 12 - 18 months and are committed to involving tenants, staff and key stakeholders in that discussion.
