If your details are not correct when you apply for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, you may not be approved to receive the grant.
The information you provide to the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) is validated by the Department of Home Affairs. This information includes your ID number, Name and Surname. This is why the information you use to apply for the SRD grant must be correct.
If your marital status has changed during the current grant payment cycle, your surname may not be accurate. This, as you may have changed it when you got married or divorced.
Sassa says it’s important to validate your marital status at the Department of Home Affairs and ensure that your surname is correct. Failure to do this can result in your SRD grant application being rejected.
