SASSA SRD R350 Reconsideration Appeal

A reconsideration appeal for a SASSA SRD grant is a process in which an applicant for a SASSA grant files an appeal against the decision of the South African Social Security Agency as to why they have been disqualified from a SASSA grant.

If you are a South African citizen and a unique permit holder, you wish to receive a SASSA SRD grant. To support your family, you can then appeal for a grant to SASSA using a Revision Appeal.

This is possible if you have applied for a SASSA SRD grant and have been disqualified for no reason. But if you disagree with SASSA’s decision and consider yourself eligible for the SASSA SRD grant, you can file a reconsideration appeal.

If you file a reconsideration request, an ITSAA committee on behalf of the SASSA program will review your application and send you the committee’s decision within 60 days on whether you are eligible for a SASSA grant.
