The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant, commonly known as the R370 grant, provides critical financial relief to millions of South Africans. However, many applicants face rejection each month, leaving them wondering about their next steps.
If you submitted an appeal in 2025, here’s how to check your status.
How to Check Your SRD Grant Appeal Status For 2025
Applicants can easily track the progress of their SRD grant appeals online. Follow these steps to check your appeal status:
- Visit the Sassa Appeals Website: Go to the official Sassa appeals portal.
- Enter Your Details: Provide your ID number and the phone number you used during the application.
- Track Your Appeal: Click the "Track Appeal" option to view the current status of your submission.
Once your appeal is processed, the tribunal will notify you electronically within 60-90 days. If the tribunal denies your appeal, you can challenge their decision in the High Court within 180 days.
Understanding the R370 Grant Eligibility Criteria
Before appealing a rejection, it’s essential to understand the requirements for SRD grant eligibility. The following criteria must be met to qualify:
- Applicants must be South African citizens, permanent residents, or special permit holders.
- They should not be receiving other forms of government assistance, such as UIF benefits or NSFAS bursaries.
- Their bank account balance must not exceed R624 at the time of application.
The Importance of the Verification Process
The R370 SRD grant application goes through a rigorous verification process to ensure only eligible individuals receive support. Applicants who don’t meet the criteria or fail to provide accurate information risk rejection.
For those whose applications were denied, the appeals process offers a second chance—but it’s crucial to ensure you meet all requirements before submitting an appeal.
Millions rely on the SRD grant as a financial lifeline. Staying informed about your application or appeal status can help you navigate the process with greater clarity and confidence.
