The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) provides Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants to millions of financially vulnerable people in the country.
There are several reasons why an applicant may choose to cancel their SRD grant. This may be because they no longer need the financial assistance or no longer meet the eligibility criteria for the SRD grant.
If your situation has changed and you no longer require the grant, you can cancel your SRD grant application.
