How To Submit A R350 Grant Appeal 2024 Application

Every month, Sassa receives millions of applications for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant. However, not everyone who applied will be successful and receive SRD grant payments.

Sassa gives unsuccessful applicants a second chance by applying to have their SRD grant application reconsidered by submitting an appeal. These appeals are meant for those who were rejected unfairly.

Appeals for the SRD grant can only be submitted online. Here’s how to submit an SRD grant appeal for 2023:

Why Your SRD Grant Might Have Been Rejected

The main requirement for the grant is that you receive no other income, grants, UIF money or NSFAS. If you receive any of these, you would not have been approved then.

Then, you might have been rejected and told that you are ‘IRP5 Registered’. This means that databases are picking you up as someone who pays tax which means you’re receiving an income.

If the reason you were rejected says that you’re receiving UIF and you’re not, this could be that the database is picking up old UIF payments or such.
