Rejected SRD Application | Here is How to Appeal

 

Rejected SRD Application


Where to submit SRD appeals?

You may lodge an appeal if you have been rejected for the SRD R350 Grant. Previously, requests or reconsideration applications were sent directly to Sassa via their SRD Grant website, but things have changed.

To appeal the SRD declined application, you have to send your appeal to the Independent Appeals Tribunal.

Step-by-step SRD Application appeal process.

Visit the Sassa appeal link: https://srd.dsd.gov.za/appeals

Step 1: Find the ‘Application for Reconsideration’ tab.
Step 2: Read the terms and conditions
Step 3: Scroll down and click on the ‘Click here to lodge an appeal or check appeal status’ green bar
Step 4: Enter your ID number and cellphone number and click ‘Send Pin’
Step 5: Get the Pin and enter it in the space provided
Step 6: Choose the month you want to appeal for. The system will also show you the reason why your application was declined.
Step 7: Select the appropriate reason for your appeal application. You select from a drop-down menu on your screen.
Step 8: Press ‘submit,’ and the process is complete. You can check the appeal application status later.

When to Appeal?

It is recommended that you lodge an appeal immediately after seeing your rejection status, preferably within 30 days of receiving it.

When does the appeal close?

The applicants are allowed to appeal within 90 days of application rejection. Otherwise, after 90 days, they will not be able to lodge an appeal.

How often do I appeal?

Sassa verifies applications monthly, and your status may change monthly depending on the Sassa findings. If you are rejected every month, you must submit your appeal for each month you have been rejected.

If your Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant application was rejected, you can appeal the decision. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to appeal a rejected SRD application:
