SASSA SRD R370 Grant 2025 : In recent months, a large number of people in South Africa depending on the SASSA Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R370 grant have been experiencing declines or delays in their payments. On the brighter side, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has assured that it is a simple online procedure for the beneficiaries to appeal and get their payments reinstated.
This comprehensive tutorial will guide you through the whole process of the 2025 SRD R370 grant appeal, who may apply, and what actions to take for the grant to be reinstated.
Possible Reasons For The Decline Of Your SRD Grant
SASSA checks the income and eligibility of every SRD applicant regularly every month. In most cases, payments are declined due to:
- The income being above the R624 limit
- The bank account details being incorrect or not up to date
- The identity verification or the cross-checking with other databases had failed
- There are several applications under different names
- There are missing documents or unverified phone numbers
SASSA is urging applicants who think their applications have been wrongly rejected to file an appeal right away.
How To Submit An SRD R370 Appeal For 2025
In case your application for the SRD R370 grant was refused, one can always appeal online, that is, if one follows the below-mentioned easy steps:
- Go to the SASSA Appeals web page – [https://srd.sassa.gov.za/appeals](https://srd.sassa.gov.za/appeals)
- Key in your South African ID number alongside the cell phone number you made use of during application.
- Hit “Lodge an Appeal” button.
- Pick the month when your application was rejected.
- State the reason for the appeal and update your details if needed.

The appeals are scrutinized by the Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals (ITSAA) who consider it a separate body from SASSA to ensure justice and transparency.
When Is The Appeal Going To Take?
SASSA brings it to the notice of applicants that they should reckon with a period of 30 to 90 days for the appeal procedure to be completed. As soon as the decision is taken, you will receive a notification through SMS or email. If it is granted, your payment will be retroactive to include the months that were missed.
Helpful Points For A Winning Appeal
- Make certain your bank information and contact number are accurate.
- Reassess your income sources in order to remain under the eligibility limit.
- Access only the SASSA official website and refrain from using third-party links or being tricked by scams.
