SRD Appeal: R350 Appeals to be finalised by end of August

The appeal process for the SRD grant allows those who have been rejected to get another chance to be evaluated or considered for the grant. Sassa has previously experienced difficulties in finalising reconsiderations but now they made an announcement as to when are they going to finalise the appeals.

Outstanding Reconsiderations

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has made an announcement about the outstanding appeals. They indicated that those who appealed from August 2021 and their applications for reconsiderations were successful, will be processed by the end of June 2022.

In a message on their social media platforms, Sassa said “Beneficiaries whose reconsideration applications outcome were successful, will be paid accordingly.”

SRD Payments

Sassa also said that payments for those successful reconsideration applicants will be done after the applications have been processed. “Reconsiderations from August 2021 are expected to be processed by end June 2022 and payments will then happen thereafter.”
