The declaration is a sigh of relief for millions of older South Africans who depend on this monthly payment to meet their basic needs like food, drugs, and other household expenses.
At the same time, SASSA is reminding its clients that they have to go through the process of strict verification and the new correctness rules updated and hence the pensioners who used to get the grant have to see their information and make sure that they are still eligible to receive the payment.

- You should not be applying for any other social grant on your behalf.
- You should not be supported or treated in a state-supported institution (like a government-provided care home).

If the income or assets of an individual or couple are over the specified limits, then the grant gets temporarily suspended or cancelled until the applicant submits the updated information.
