How To Appeal For Declined SASSA SRD R350 Grant

The mission of SASSA’s Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant program in South Africa is to provide short-term financial support each month to South African citizens, Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Special Permit Holders between the ages of 18 and 60 years who are jobless or whose per month income is less than R624, have insufficient resources, who do not receive any other social grants or UIF Payments and have no financial support through any other source.

SASSA Appeal for SRD R350 Grant 1

If you applied for the SRD R350 grant and your application was rejected, but you believe that you are eligible for the SRD grant and your application was mishandled or rejected unfairly, you have the right to appeal the decision of SASSA to the Ministry of Social Development at the National Department of Social Development.

Appeal Process Overview

The Appeal process is designed to allow the applicants to challenge the SASSA rejection decision of their initial SRD grant application, and it is handled by the Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals (ITSAA). You need to appeal the decision within 90 days and make sure that all the details you provided are accurate and complete.

SRD Grant Appeal Process Deadline

ITSAA takes around 60 to 90 days to make the decision based on your appeal. If they agrees with you, they will overturn the decision of SASSA, and you will start receiving the SRD grant payments. You will be notified if your appeal is declined.

Eligibility Criteria for SRD R350 Grant

Before lodging an appeal, first you need to understand the SASSA SRD grant eligibility criteria to analyze whether you are eligible for the R350 grant. It will help you understand why your application was rejected. The criteria are following:

  • Citizenship: To be eligible for the SRD grant, the candidate must be a South African citizen or permanent resident.
  • Residence: Applicant must be living in South Africa.
  • Age: Applicants’ age must reside between 18 and 60.
  • UIF Payments: Applicants who are getting UIF(Unemployment insurance funds) are not eligible for the SRD R350 grant.
  • Authentic Information: Applicants must have provided complete and authentic information like their own 13 digit ID card number, mobile number, and bank account details.
  • Lack of Support: Applicants must not be able to support themselves and their family members, and they have no other source of income, like any additional government support, social grants, or unemployment benefits.
  • Insufficient Funds: If the applicant is found to be earning more than R624 per month, the application will be declined due to surpassing the means test criteria.
  • DHA Record: If applicants are found deceased in the record of the DHA(Department of Home Affairs), this will also result in the cancellation of their request.

If you are fulfilling all the above eligibility criteria for the SASSA SRD grant and there is no discrimination, but your application was still rejected, then you can apply for appeal.

Before lodging an appeal, you must verify if your information is up to date in SASSA Portal:

What To Do If My Appeal is Declined?

If your appeal is also declined, then sadly there is not any other option to appeal again either to SASSA or ITSAA. The only option you are left with to take the matter to the High Court for a judicial review. You need to avail this option only if you have a strong belief that you fulfill all the eligibility criteria but your application is declined inappropriately.

SRD Appeal Declination Reasons:

There are various reasons which may leads to the rejection of your appeal. You will get one of the following message if your appeal is declined:

SASSA SRD Application Decline Reasons
  • identity_verification_failed: This means that the personal information in your application doesn’t match the record maintained by the Department of Home Affairs. In simpler terms, there’s a mismatch in your identity details.
  • existing_sassa_grant: This means that the applicant was already receiving a different social grant during the reconsideration period, which makes them ineligible for the SRD Grant.
  • nsfas_registered: This means the applicant was getting funds from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) during the reconsideration period, suggesting they have another source of financial support.
  • uif_registered: This indicates that the applicant received Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) payments during the reconsidered period, showing that they have another source of financial assistance.
  • gov_payrol_registered: This shows the applicant’s employment in a government institution during the reconsideration period, meaning they have a job and income.
  • age_outside_range(>60): This indicates that the applicant is over 60 years of age during the reconsidered period, making them ineligible due to age restrictions.
  • age_outside_range(<18): This means that the applicant is younger than 18 years of age during the reconsideration period, making them ineligible due to age restrictions.
  • Deceased Record on DHA: The DHA database shows that the applicant is registered as deceased during the reconsideration period.
  • alternative_income_source_identified: This means the applicant had a balance of R624 or more deposited into their bank account during the reconsideration period, indicating an alternative source of income that exceeds the grant’s eligibility threshold.

    2. Agreed …I’m not working since 2019 but they pay me for 2 months then again declined…my question is who gets where do they get this information from… heartbreaking 💔

      1. Hi Roslyn,

        Can you please visit your local SASSA office? They may able to explain the reason clearly and if there is any misunderstanding from their side, they can clear it and can approve your grant.

    1. Hi Sinethemba,

      It seems SASSA have identified your other income sources. If you don’t have any other income sources, then you can apply for reapplication. If it also declined, then you have to lodge an appeal with the proof and supported documents which shows that you don’t have any other source of income.

        1. Please file an appeal for your R350 grant with the valid proof that you have not any income source. SASSA will verify your income sources and approve your grant.

    1. Hi Naledi,

      Please visit your nearest SASSA office and let them know that you have not received your payments from last 9 months. The SASSA representative will help you solve your problem, and if everything is fine with your application then you will also receive previous due payments.

            It’s sad to know. The only solution now is to visit SASSA office in person and let them know about the whole scenario. They will help to sort out your 350 grant issue you are facing from May.

            1. Hi Joseph,

              Did you get the SARS payment this month? If it was received in 2020 than it doesn’t affect your grant payment until you fulfil the eligibility criteria.

        1. I didn’t get my 350 I don’t know why because still I’m not working I don’t have any income really I’m confused

        1. Hi simphiswesukani,

          I checked your status and it shows that your income of source has been identified for November hence your grant is rejected. But here is a good news too that your grant for December 2023 has been approved. Please check it out from here: https://sassagrantstatuscheck.co.za/.

          Please never share your personal information publicly with anyone. I have removed your personal details from comment.

          Thank you!

      1. Please help me I don’t have a job I’m 50 years old and my sassa is being declined for no reason I never had a salary

        1. Hi Emmarentia,

          It must show the reason for declination. Can you please check your status again and let me know what reason its showing along with status declined?

          1. When ever they feel that they don’t want you to get grant they do so, and tell you that there’s some money detected in your account, which is lies because the bank statements says the opposite. Fraud will never end in this Department 📍

            1. Hi Ellie,

              That’s where appeal process comes to place. If you feel your grant is declined unfairly, you can always lodge an appeal to the independent tribunal. The appeal is reviewed by independent tribunal and they have power to overturn the SASSA decision and get your grant approved.

          1. It says source of income identified and i have no money going in my account.worse thing is that june 2022 apeal is pending while july 2022 is declined is complicated and recieving nothing

          1. Hi Vincent,

            First, please make sure that you haven’t any extra transactions on your bank account to avoid the declination.

            Now, you will need to contact SASSA helpline at 0800 60 10 11 to explain about the transaction on your account, then they may able to understand the scenario and can approve your grant again.

            Thank you!
