The legislation under which the R350 grant is provided and the qualifying criteria are not the only things that change about the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant. The process of submitting an R350 grant appeal has also changed.

The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) revealed that around 10 million people benefited from the SRD grant monthly. However, Sassa received millions of R350 grant applications that were unsuccessful.

Clients whose R350 grant application was declined have the right to appeal the decision made by Sassa. However, it is important to note that the R350 grant appeals process has changed.

The Minister of Social Development (DSD) has appointed the Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals to consider and decide on appeals relating to the R350 grant.
