Roedd yn amlwg ar y pryd bod angen sicrhau na fyddai pobl yng Nghymru a arferai dderbyn taliadau o’r Gronfa yn cael eu gadael heb gymorth o ganlyniad i’r penderfyniad hwn. Mewn ymateb, cyflwynodd Llywodraeth Cymru, fel mesur dros dro, Grant Byw'n Annibynnol Cymru i awdurdodau lleol. Roedd hyn i ddarparu'r cyllid y byddai ei angen ar awdurdodau i wneud taliadau di-dor i bobl a fu'n derbyn taliadau o'r Gronfa, wrth i ni ystyried y ffordd fwyaf priodol o ymdrin â’r grŵp penodol hwn yn y dyfodol.
There was clearly a need at this time to make sure people in Wales who had received payments from the ILF were not left without support as a consequence of this decision. In response the Welsh Government introduced, as an interim measure, the WILG for local authorities. This was to provide the funding authorities would need to make payments uninterrupted to  people who had been in receipt of ILF payments whilst we considered the most appropriate way to support this discreet group in future.
