SRD Grant Declined? Don't Panic! Here's How to Appeal & Get Your R370!
SRD Grant Application Declined? You Have Options!
If your application for the R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant has been declined, don't lose hope! The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) reminds beneficiaries that you have the right to appeal the decision.
SASSA uses external databases to verify applicants' financial status. Applications are often declined if income is detected through bank records or other financial institutions. However, if you believe your application was unfairly rejected, you can and should appeal.
How to Appeal Your Declined SRD Grant
The process is simple. Just follow these steps:
- Visit the official SASSA SRD website: https://srd.sassa.gov.za (for external users).
- Follow the instructions provided on the website to lodge your appeal.
SASSA emphasizes the importance of appealing if you are not satisfied with the reasons given for the decline. The SRD grant provides crucial support to many South Africans, and appealing ensures that all eligible individuals have access to this vital assistance.
Who is Eligible for the SRD Grant?
The SRD grant is intended for South African citizens, refugees, asylum seekers, and special permit holders between 18 and 60 years old who meet specific criteria, including:
- Insufficient means of financial support.
- Not receiving other social grants.
- Not contributing to or eligible for UIF payments.
- Having no financial support from other sources.
If you meet these criteria and your application was declined, make sure to appeal! Don't miss out on the support you're entitled to.
