Applying for a grant from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) can be crucial for many people, but sometimes applications are declined, causing confusion and frustration. This guide explains why your application might have been rejected and how you can appeal the decision.

How To Appeal For SASSA SRD Declined R370 Grant

Why Was Your SASSA Grant Application Declined?

If your SASSA SRD R370 or any other grant application was denied, you might wonder why, especially if you submitted all required documents correctly and followed SASSA’s guidelines. However, rejection can still occur.

Possible Reasons for Rejection

There are several reasons why your application might have been declined:

• Double-Check Your Information: Ensure all details you provided are accurate. Errors in your application can lead to rejection.
• Alternative Income Source: If your bank account shows regular deposits exceeding R595, your application will be denied. This threshold is reduced to R350 until May 2024.
• Identification Issues: The Department of Home Affairs must verify your South African ID or special permits. If this fails, your application will be rejected.
• Receiving Other SASSA Grants: You cannot receive another government social grant while applying.
• Using SASSA Care & Service Facility: Your application will be declined if you receive an Old Age Grant and live in a SASSA Care and Service Facility.
• NSFAS Registration: Your application will be denied if you are receiving funds from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).
• Grant Cancellation: Your grant will be stopped if you already receive the SRD R370 or more from SASSA without meeting the criteria.

How to Submit a SASSA Appeal Online

If you believe your application was wrongly denied, you can appeal online:

• Visit the Website: Go to the Department of Social Development (DSD) or SASSA website.
• Enter Your Details: Provide your 13-digit South African ID and the mobile number registered with SASSA.
• Enter Application ID: Use the 6-digit APP-ID you received when your application was denied.
• Submit Your Appeal: Select the month you want to appeal, explain your concerns, and click “Submit.”

Appeal Process and Timeline

After submitting your appeal, SASSA will forward it to the Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals (ITSAA), which will review it within 60 to 90 days. You will be notified of the decision via SMS.

How to Check Your Appeal Status

You can check your SASSA appeal status through several methods:

• Online: Visit the SASSA website and enter your ID and mobile number.
• SMS: Send your 13-digit ID number to 32573 for SMS updates on your appeal status.
• Helpline: Call 0800 601 011 toll-free, providing your ID number and appeal reference to check your status.

Important Notes

• Appeal Within 90 Days: You must appeal within 90 days of receiving the rejection notice. Failure to do so will make SASSA’s decision final.
• Re-examination: If you miss appealing for a specific month, you need to file separate appeals for both the current and previous months.
