Social relief of distress is temporary provision of assistance intended for persons in such a dire material need that they are unable to meet their families’ most basic needs.

Sassa‘s appeals process provides an opportunity for people who believe that their permanent grant applications were unjustifiably declined to have their cases reviewed.

As the Covid-19 SRD is re-evaluated by SASSA and paid on a monthly basis, to confirm that a person is still in need of the Covid-19 SRD, an appeal application needs to be lodged in relation to each month where a person is rejected by SASSA. The decision of the Independent Tribunal will accordingly only be in respect of the specific month to which the appeal relates. It is accordingly in your best interest to lodge an appeal as soon as you get a rejected notification from SASSA and not delay.
