It is very mandatory for SASSA clients to view their SRD status check before they can get their new payments.

Why is Grant Payment Not Increasing?

After Covid-19, South Africa has faced so many difficulties in the manner of economics. Thousands of people lost their jobs and thousands of people lost their small to medium and even large businesses. Due to lockdowns all over the world, it becomes impossible to do trades and make some money for a living.

In this scenario, Sassa has introduced an income support program that is called the Sassa SRF R350 grant. Where Sassa is offering 350 Rands to all the beneficiaries of this program.

Now SASSA has finally increased the SRD grant payments. The new payment is R370 and it was started on April 1, 2024. Now the SRD grant clients are getting R370 instead of old R350 payments. If your payment is still R350 then you need to appeal for the grant payment increase.
