It is expected that less people will qualify for the R350 grant as Sassa changed the qualifying criteria. Some unsuccessful applicants have received a rejection status that reads “Self Exclusionary Response Found”.
What Does The “Self Exclusionary Response Found” SRD Status Mean?
Sassa said, “Information provided on the application form indicates that the applicant is already receiving support of funds more than R350 per month, or stays in a government facility and therefore does not qualify for the grant.”
The agency has advised clients to read the declaration and consent forms in detail.
If you feel that Sassa was incorrect in their assessment of your grant application, you can appeal your rejection status by submitting a reconsideration request.
