9 Reasons Why SRD Grants are Declined

Here are common reasons why SRD R350 grant applications are rejected.

  1. Alternative income source identified

The applicant has been employed and is indicated as contributing towards income tax.

  • Existing Sassa grant

The applicant is a current recipient of a Social grant other than a child grant.

  • NSFAS registered

The applicant is receiving a benefit from National Student Fund Aid Scheme

  • UIF registered

The applicant is eligible for UIF benefits based on TERS OR Contributions to UIF OR is currently receiving the Unemployment Insurance Fund benefit

  • Gov payroll registered

The applicant is in employment in a government institution

  • Age outside range(>60)

The applicant does not qualify for the grant due to not meeting the age requirement ( Over 60)

  • Suspended (Deceased Record on DHA)

The client is registered as deceased on the Department of Home Affairs database

  • Debtor

The client was paid R350 once or more where the client did not qualify. The error was picked and the money is withheld to correct the error. Payments will resume if the client still qualifies, once all the outstanding R350s recovered.

What can I do when my application is declined?

The client can apply for reconsideration via the Social Development Independent Tribunal Website at this link https://srd.dsd.gov.za/appeals  should the client wish to dispute the outcome. You can appeal every month as applications are reviewed on a monthly basis. Each rejection is for that particular month, you may still appeal for the upcoming month if declined again. You only have 90 days to appeal from the day your decline status appears on your application.

Question time

How many times have you appeal or apply for reconsideration and what were the outcomes?
