Appeal For SASSA Relief Grant March 2023

Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) introduced the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant in 2020. In spite of this, not all applicants were successful in their applications, so an appeal system was established to allow applicants to request a second review of their applications.
